International Coach
Exactly, I would have thought that, despite Gayle's lack of recent first class experience, the board would have brought him into the squad for the tour considering how well Gayle has played in Aus in the past. Both at T20 franchise level & international level.
You'd be very brave to ask Chris Gayle to forfeit the Big Bash for the test tour. I don't think Gayle minds playing test cricket that much, but domestic t20 will always take priority sadly. He's absolutely walk into the side if he wanted to.
