Hard-hitting West Indies opener Chris Gayle has expressed his desire to visit Pakistan and meet Prime Minister Imran Khan.

After guiding his team Balkh Legends to semi-finals of the inaugural edition of the Afghanistan Premier League (APL), Gayle said that wants to go to Pakistan, as well as Afghanistan, and chill with the nation’s premier.  

“I’ve never been to Pakistan or Afghanistan, but perhaps I can go and chill with the Prime Minister (Imran Khan) since he was a former cricketer,” he said according to Gulf News.

Gayle also made a tongue in cheek comment about wanting a private jet for travelling to Pakistan and Afghanistan.

“I have never been to Afghanistan. We will have to wait and see if I will undertake a trip there [for the second edition of the APL next year]. If you have a private jet then send it to me, and that would be my condition to visit Pakistan and Afghanistan,” he joked.

It is interesting to note here that, Gayle has visited Pakistan before — having played three Tests and four ODIs there — but perhaps it slipped his mind because those matches were played more than a decade ago in 2006.
