Universe Boss Hit Back: Chris Gayle calls out West Indies Legend Publicly Ahead of T20 WC, Says no Respect For Him Whatsoever
The ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle didn’t mince any words as he hit back at former West Indies bowler Curtly Ambrose, who claimed that the left-handed batter wouldn’t be an automatic pick in the playing XI for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which starts from Sunday in UAE.
West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle said that he had “no respect” for Curtly Ambrose after the former legendary fast bowler said that the batter shouldn’t be an automatic pick in the starting XI for the team in the upcoming T20 World Cup, which begins on Sunday. “I am speaking about Curtly Ambrose. I am singling out Curtly Ambrose, one of your own. I highly respected him when I came into the West Indies team,” Gayle told The Island Tea Morning Show, a radio station in St Kitts, on Tuesday.

“When I just joined the team, I looked up to this man. But I am now speaking from my heart. I don’t know what, since he retired, what he had against Chris Gayle. I can tell you personally, and you can let him know that Chris Gayle, the Universe Boss, have no respect for Curtly Ambrose whatsoever,” he added.
“We have won the tournament twice, and we will be going for the third title. The team has seen what is happening. It is going to reflect on the team. I am not going to take anything from any senior player. Curtly Ambrose, pull your socks up, alright? Support for the West Indies, ok? Support the West Indies, that is the thing,” the ‘Universe Boss’ added.

Ambrose was extremely critical of Gayle’s batting in recent times, stating that the 42-year-old has done very little in the last 18 months.
“For me, Gayle is definitely not an automatic choice for starting,” Ambrose had said on a radio talk show in Barbados. “When you look at his exploits over the last 18 months, he has struggled not only for the West Indies, but other T20 franchises. The few home series we played, he hasn’t had any scores of significance.”
