    "Hopefully we can win this game and we can have a drink after. Don't blush, baby," Gayle was heard telling the journalist on air.

    Gayle was slammed for making "inappropriate" comments and further action was promised against the superstar cricketer.

    ESPC CricInfo reporter Melinda Farrell said, "She [Mel McLaughlin] is an absolute A-grade journalist and broadcaster and it's horrible to see her put in that position."

  • "There wasn't anything at all meant to be disrespectful to Mel, or offensive. If she felt that way, then I am really sorry for that. There wasn't any harm meant. It was a simple joke," said Gayle when he arrived at Melbourne airport.

    "In entertainment, things get out of proportion," Gayle added before cutting the press conference short, for which he again faced criticism.

  • A similar incident had occurred in the 2014 Caribbean Premier League, when Gayle was asked by a female reporter how the pitch felt. Gayle replied, saying, "Well I haven't touched yours yet, so I don't know how it feels."
