Jamaica and West Indies global bating super star Chris Gayle will play no further part in Jozi Stars’ Mzansi T/20 Super League campaign in South Africa.

This as he is leaving South Africa to attend his mother’s funeral later this week.

Gayle admitted that “it has not been easy to play cricket since he lost his mom, adding that the game was a nice distraction for him during his time of grief.

Gayle played in stars’ opening match of the MSL before departing for a stint with Kerala Knights in the T/10 league in Sharjah.

He subsequently returned to South Africa and played three more innings for stars, making just 20 runs in three games.

He will miss their final round robin game against Tshwane Spartans in Johannesburg tomorrow.
