After years of rejection, Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle have chosen to take retainer contracts with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).
Gayle and Bravo’s actions mark a change from their 2010 refusal to take retainer contracts, while Kieron Pollard, the third player who declined to sign that year, is still not included in the group of players retained.
When Ernest Hilaire was WICB’s CEO in 2010, Gayle, the captain of the West Indies at the moment, declined to sign. Later that year, Darren Sammy took Gayle’s spot.
