Kingston: Explosive West Indian batsman Chris Gayle has said he will be out of cricket for two to three months owing to his back problem and is set to undergo a surgery.

After his last match in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) where his team Jamaica Tallawah suffered a 27-run loss to Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, Gayle on Thursday said: "I have a charity game on the second, but after that I will be out of cricket for two to three months. I am going to do a surgery on my back."
