The sensational falling out between former friends Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan could very well have had its genesis in Barbados 24 years ago.

The 40 year old Jamaican launched a broadside against CEO Jeff Miller and Assistant coach and former West Indies team-mate Sarwan as he broke his silence on his move from the Jamaica Tallawahs to the St. Lucia Zouks for this season’s Caribbean Premier League.

Gayle is of the view that both Miller and Sarwan had a lot to do with him not being retained for the franchise and in pointing out what he sees as Sarwan’s many mis-givings, Gayle pointed to an incident nearly quarter-century ago that he remembers to this day.

Gayle pointed out that Sarwan was keen on imposing curfews on the team even when they had late night games, but there was another thing that rubbed the big-hitting Jamaican the wrong way.

That’s batting superstar Chris Gayle.
