"Everything has been rectified," said Gayle, who played for the first time for the West Indies since the 2011 World Cup against Middlesex yesterday.

"The main objective is to contribute to West Indies cricket and uplift it. I'm available for all formats of the game. Hopefully, I can get some runs in whites and in coloured clothes," he added.

Gayle had not donned the West Indies colours after the 2011 World Cup following a breakdown in relationship between him and the WICB.

But recently Gayle had discussions with the WICB, after which he pulled out of a contract with Somerset to play for his national team once again.

 

He was eventually picked in the West Indies squad for the limited-overs series against England.

Gayle, who, in his comeback match, scored 34 off 30 balls in West Indies' win over Middlesex in a tour game here at Lord's yesterday, said he was happy to be back.

"It is good to be back in my No. 45 jersey I represented West Indies once. I started out a bit nervous, I am human, but things came along well after that.

"Unfortunately I got out. I am looking forward to the first ODI and should be in a better state of mind," he said. MORE
