Birmingham: <\/strong>West Indies captain Darren Sammy believes Chris Gayle’s return will augur well for this side’s fortunes in the upcoming three-match One-Day International series against England.<\/p>\n

Gayle Monday was included in a 15-man squad, bringing to an end a 14-month squabble with the West Indies Cricket Board stemming from a controversial interview he gave to a Jamaican radio station following last year’s World Cup.<\/p>\n

Sammy, who took over the helm of the squad from Gayle in late 2010, said he expected Gayle to fit back into the squad without any problems.<\/p>\n

“He’s a professional and I think he’ll do what’s necessary for the team,” Sammy told reporters here Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, his contributions out there on the cricket field – we all know what he can do – that will be the most valuable thing for us.”<\/p>\n

Gayle is one of the most feared batsmen in world cricket, already scoring 8087 runs in 228 ODIs, with 19 centuries an average of nearly 40.<\/p>\n

The explosive opener is expected to arrive Saturday and Sammy expects to have his first chat with the Jamaican thereafter.<\/p>\n

I haven’t (spoken to Gayle) but they (ODI squad) are coming in on Saturday morning so we’ll have enough time to talk,” Sammy said.<\/p>\n

Gayle forms part of what appears a strong ODI squad with powerful all-rounders Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo also included.<\/p>\n

The West Indies have also recalled opener Lendl Simmons following his recovery from injury and have handed all-rounder Dwayne Smith his first ODI cap in two years.<\/p>\n

The squad will be further boosted by batsman Darren Bravo, fast bowlers Fidel Edwards and Tino Best, along with mystery off-spinner Sunil Narine, who are all already in England.<\/p>\n

“Looking at that one-day team I am very excited but we have a Test match here we have to get over first and then after this the one-day stuff starts,” Sammy said.<\/p>\n

The one-day series runs from June 16-24.<\/p>\n
