Chris Gayle Rejoins Jamaica Tallawahs For 2019 Hero Caribbean Premier League!

In what could very well be his final Caribbean Premier League Season, the Universe Boss Chris Gayle will once again be back with the Jamaica Tallawahs for the 2019 Hero Caribbean Premier League. The Jamaica Tallawahs have signed Chris Gayle as their Marquee Player for the 2019 Hero Caribbean Premier League season. The leading T20 batsman of all time, Gayle is the only player with more that 10,000 runs in the format. He is the leading CPL run scorer with 2111 runs and has scored three CPL hundreds, all of those for the Tallawahs.

Gayle was with the Tallawahs from 2013 to 2016, winning the title with them twice in that time. Since then he has been with the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots where he has captained them to the playoffs in successive years, making the final in 2017.

The Tallawahs will be playing five home games in Jamaica during the 2019 season giving the fans at Sabina Park the chance to see Gayle in action on his home ground. This year’s Hero CPL will take place between 4 September to 12 October.

Gayle will be joined by his fellow Jamaican T20 superstar Andre "Superman" Russel. DreRus as he is fondly known finished this year's 2019 Indian Premier League Season as the Purple Cap Winner as the Most Outstanding Batsman.

Jefferson Miller, COO of the Jamaica Tallawahs, said: “We are delighted to have Chris playing for his home team for the 2019 season. There is no bigger name in Twenty20 cricket, and we can’t wait for him to arrive and make the Jamaican fans proud. We are looking forward to Chris being a big part of our push for a third CPL title.”
