Gayle told ESPN Cricinfo: “I'm actually out of the Test series (against England), the back won't hold up for that format at this point in timeBut I haven't retired from any format, as yet. I definitely want to play the T20 World Cup next year for West Indies, there's no doubt about that.I've got a few concerns to try and solve. I'll give myself some time and, as I go on, I will keep informing WICB (West Indies Cricket Board) about my progress.The back actually held up well, in the outfield for 50 overs and then opening the batting.It wasn't too bad, had a slight scare again with a niggle in the groin, so all that was happening.You have to take the conditions into consideration, it was a bit cold and you're feeling some pain.I thought we played some great cricket.We had a good all-round team and the guys played some crucial innings for us.It was a situation where, you look at it, we reached a quarter-final and anything could have happened. You just need two good games.”
