Have no regrets - happy to leave the game but I want to finish off on a high in my last international game. I'm a big fan of Chris Gayle - nobody can question what he has done for the sport. I'm personally a big fan of him and am happy to have shared the dressing room with him all these years. What he has done in T20s, test cricket and one-day internationals as well (has been great). I'm very happy to call him a friend and a teammate"

Chris Gayle: "I can remember the fond memories of winning two titles. Playing with Bravo has been fun as well. He will be missed and has been a legend of West Indies cricket. I would like him to sign off on a high. I'm semi-retired."
