Venting out his anger via a Twitter post, the 40-year-old revealed that the leading airline company did not allow him to board a flight for which he had a confirmed ticket, saying "they were over booked". 


"So disappointed @emirates, I have a confirmed flight and they gonna tell me that they are over booked. Not only that, @emirates want me to travel economy when it's a business class ticket - so now I have to travel on a later flight! Just ridiculous @emirates !Bad experience," Gayle wrote. 



Popularly known as the 'Universal Boss', Gayle made his last appearance for the Caribbean side in a One-Day International (ODI) against India in August this year.  


Gayle, who is the first cricketer to score a century in all three formats of the game, notched up a blistering knock of 72 runs off 42 balls during that match. The Caribbean side, however, lost the clash against the Virat Kohli-led side by six wickets.


The southpaw is currently West Indies' leading run-getter in the 50-over format with a total of 10,480 runs in 301 matches.
