Chris Gayle

I have travelled the globe and experienced racial remarks towards me because I am black, believe me, the list goes on.

I’m disappointed people don’t recognise what I did in Test cricket. For an opening batsman to get two triple centuries? A lot of greats haven’t got one.

I am committed to whatever cricket I play. Once I step across the line I am 100 percent committed – it doesn’t matter what kind of cricket we play.

How can you disrespect the West Indies when we were so dominant in world cricket for so long? We have to face it ourselves because our own board don’t defend us.

Racism is not only in football, it’s in cricket too. Even within teams as a black man, I get the end of the stick. Black and powerful. Black and proud.
