Chris Gayle will return to competitive cricket later in November, as the Italia T10 Cricket hosts its inaugural season, starting November 18. The West Indies legend recently won the World Championship of Legends as captain.

At 47, Gayle is actively participating in legends leagues and has shown interest in potentially playing in the Bangladesh Premier League. The T20 legend will bring a lot of star power and experience to the league after the Italians put the team on the cricketing map in the T20 World Cup earlier this year.

Italia T10 Cricket is set to begin on November 18 in the capital city of Rome at the Roma Cricket Ground. Swashbuckling Caribbean opener Chris Gayle will represent the coastal city of Venice (Venice Livewires).

Gayle will be joined by former world number 1 T20I batter, Dawid Malan, who also played the recent WCL 2026 final against West Indies. Among the currently active names, Bhanuka Rajapaksa will also bolster the Veince squad.
