Chris Gayle led the West Indies’ celebrations after the two-time world champions qualified for next year’s ICC Cricket World Cup, which will take place in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14. West Indies, the two time World Cup winners (1975 and 1979), defeated Scotland by five runs (DLS) in a Super Six fixture of the World Cup Qualifier on Wednesday.
“MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! Chris Gayle has a special message for his amazing Windies fans after we qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup #OneLove,” West Indies Cricket’s Twitter post read.
“Mission accomplished, definitely. It has been a long journey and the process we have gone through to qualify, we still have to give thanks even though it was a rain interrupted game today, but a win is a win. I am so happy to have qualified for another World Cup., I just have to stay fit now and we have a young team, but it will be my last World Cup that is for sure, so I am looking forward to it,” Gayle said.
