Another sexism scandal in store for Chris Gayle?

Chris Gayle, one of the biggest stars in world cricket, boasted about his "very, very big bat" in one interview to a female journalist which is likely to provoke reaction from cricketing circles and beyond.

Chris Gayle, the big-hitting batsman who sparked a sexism scandal after flirting with a female reporter Mel McLaughlin out on a date on live television when playing in Australia’s Big Bash League, has fanned the flames again in an interview.

The interview with journalist Charlotte Edwardes from British newspaper The Times took place in Bangalore, where Gayle has been playing with the Royal Challengers in the Indian Premier League.

Edwardes wrote the 36-year-old boasted about having "a very, very big bat, the biggest in the wooooorld," adding: "You think you could lift it? You'd need two hands.

Gayle has a baby daughter with Natasha Berridge, his girlfriend of 10 years. When he was asked about sharing domestic duties.

He said he would change a nappy, but on cooking, "no", and cleaning: "That is not going to happen."

The 36-year-old Jamaican said women enjoyed "more than equality" and insisted his countrymen took a relaxed view about sex.

Gayle said Jamaicans were "more relaxed about sex. We're not so hung up about it. This is what people like doing. It's no big deal."

"Ten thousand women will throw themselves at me. The fact is that I am damn good-looking."

Asked if he threw himself at women, he sighed: "Your questions, you suck me dry."

We will hear more of this... stay tuned.
