New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum on West Indies star Chris Gayle:  "We obviously played a few seen seasons together at Kolkata. We spent a lot of time playing against each other over the years as well, and we've had good times off the field too.

"He's obviously a great character. The game is richer for his experience and his involvement, I think we've seen some of the hands that he's played over a number of years. He's obviously a very destructive player and a real character off the field too. He's a guy which International Cricket is lucky to have".
