Chris Gayle to know his fate with WI cricket today

Destructive Jamaican opening batsman Chris Gayle is expected to know his future in West Indies cricket later today.
The West Indies Cricket (WICB) says a response will be communicated to Gayle through a letter before the end of the day.
The former skipper Gayle has been overlooked by the West Indies selectors since the World Cup following his public feud with administrators.
It had been hoped that the disagreement would be resolved at Tuesday night meeting ahead of the Test series against India, which begins in Jamaica on Monday.
However, Gayle looks unlikely to play in his home match, or any of the three-Test series after several issues between him and the board remained unresolved following the meeting in Jamaica.
The WICB says the meeting, also attended by regional players union head, Dinanath Ramnarine and vice-president Wavell Hinds, ended in uncertainty.
A release from the WICB says the board will meet today and after the management will write to Gayle to outline the way forward.
At the heart of the division are media comments made by Gayle to criticise the WICB as well as his decision to play in the Indian Premier League after he had been left out of the original squad for the series against Pakistan in April.
