Chris Gayle could make return to face England in ODI series

Chris Gayle could make an eye-catching return to West Indies' one-day side against England later this summer following the thawing of relations between senior Caribbean cricketers and the board.

Even at 37, the big-hitting Gayle remains one of the world game's biggest drawcards, but he has restricted his international appearances since the last 50-over World Cup in early 2015 to a handful of Twenty20 matches.

Now, following the efforts of a new-look West Indies Cricket Board to make peace with several of their star players, Gayle is in line to represent the one-day team during the five-match series against England in September, as well as the preceding one-off Twenty20 match at Chester-le-Street.
