West Indies great Chris Gayle has taken a huge swipe at former teammate Ramnaresh Sarwan, labeling him "evil" and "worse than the coronavirus".
Gayle accused his ex-West Indies team-mate for his exit from the Jamaica Tallawahs team in the Caribbean Premier League, after being released by Twenty20 franchise.
The 40-year-old big-hitting opener didn't hold back any when addressing assistant coach Sarwan during a lengthy video posted on his YouTube channel.
"Right now Sarwan, you are worse than the coronavirus right now," said Gayle.
"You are a snake, you are so vindictive still immature, still stabbing people in the back.
"What transpired with the Tallawahs, you had a big part to play," said Gayle, the all-time leading run-scorer in Twenty20 internationals.
"You know, Sarwan, you're not the most loved person in the Caribbean ... You're so vindictive. You're still immature, still stabbing people in the back."
The limited overs star, who holds the West Indies' all-time leading run scorer in one-day internationals — said the bad blood with Sarwan dated back to their days playing junior cricket together.
"From 1996, that's when our careers started in youth cricket days. We shared the same room in the West Indian Under-19s.
"You allowed the management staff to send me home from Barbados. I forgive but I'll never forget that.
"You told the management team you can't sleep because Chris Gayle was watching TV too late in the night. That's what I got sent home for.
"In everybody's eyes you act as if you're a saint ... Sarwan, you're evil, you're wicked, you're poison."
The veteran left-hander has since joined the St Lucia Zouks for this year's edition of the CPL starting in August, after leading the Tallahwahs to the title in 2013 and 2016. This was meant to be his second stint with the team after a spell with the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.
Gayle spent much of his Test career in the same West Indies side as fellow batsman Sarwan and accused him of wanting to take complete control of the Tallawahs.
"You are no good. You are despicable," Gayle continued. "You want the franchise, have it. There's no Gayle. You run the show."
