Curtly Ambrose is an achiever who has earned his stripes to have an opinion of his own which someone like Chris Gayle must learn to “respect” even if it’s not in his favour, said iconic Sir Vivian Richards.

Ambrose had told a radio channel in the Caribbean that Gayle shouldn’t be “an automatic choice” in the West Indies playing XI for the T20 World Cup as he has very little performance to show even in franchise cricket for the past 18 months. To this Gayle had lashed out on Ambrose, saying the former fast bowler was a “negative person” for whom he had “no respect.”
“It’s Curtly’s honest opinion and he’s entitled to that and he is just as much as an achiever as Gayle at the highest level,” Richards told Daily Observer. “So when you hear it’s coming from an individual who would have also been an achiever and being a legend in the department of the sport we would have represented, you must have respect for that too.” Richards urged Gayle to take Ambrose’s criticisms positively as he might just not be the only one taking a dig at his current form.
