“Lower-ranked teams need to play more games,” says Chris Gayle, who wants to save cricket’s future by making changes to the international calendar.

Chris Gayle, a legendary cricket player from the West Indies, is afraid about the future of international cricket because the top three countries are in charge. Concerns have been raised about the top three countries, India, Australia, and England, which dominate cricket and make a lot more money than the other countries.

The West Indies great isn’t sure that the game will grow in smaller countries, and he thinks that fans will get tired of seeing the same teams win the game over and over again if things stay the same.

“Yes, that’s what I’m talking about, and that’s where I’m coming from. International cricket is pretty much ruled by these three teams. “If we keep doing this, people will say, ‘Hey, we need a new team to take over, new talent to take over and make a name for themselves,'” Gayle told The Indian Express.

The 43-year-old also said that the difference in pay between countries should be looked into and that lower-ranked teams should play more games to help them get better.

“It needs to be set up in a way that helps everyone. The weaker and lower-ranked teams need to play more games to get better. Because everyone plays the same amount of cricket, infrastructure needs to be built for them, and the players need to be paid well, just like the big teams.

Chris Gayle hasn’t said anything about retiring yet.
When he was at his best, Gayle was one of the most dangerous openers in world cricket. He has played for West Indies in 103 Tests, 301 ODIs, and 79 T20Is, and he has scored more than 19000 runs in those games. West Indies won the Champions Trophy in 2004, the T20 World Cup in 2012, and the T20 World Cup in 2016. He was a part of those winning teams. The 43-year-old played his last game at the T20 World Cup in 2021, but he has not yet said that he is retiring.

West Indies, on the other hand, are having a hard time in the Cricket World Cup Qualifiers. They have lost two of their four group games, to Netherlands and Zimbabwe. To make a return in the Super Sixes stage, the team led by Shai Hope will have to play their hearts out.
