Gayle played for the West Indies at youth international level prior to making his first-class debut. He played in the second IPL competition in early 2009, arriving for an away Test series against England very late, earning criticism about his commitment. Despite being regarded as a calm, cool cricketer, Gayle has been involved in a few controversies. In 2005 Gayle was involved in the dispute between the West Indies Cricket Board and a number of players over sponsorship issues.
