Gibbs' Cobra's inclusion still to be decided

Nashua Cape Cobras coach Shukri Conrad said Monday he hopes that Herschelle Gibbs will join his Cobras compatriots for the Champions League tournament later this year.

Gibbs and his Deccan Chargers team are the winners of this years IPL, while his local franchise the Cobras are the domestic Pro 20 champions.

Both these team have automatically qualified for the tournament which means the Protea's batsman will have to make a choice as to who he will play for.

If he does choose to play for the Chargers, his local team may be compensated.

According to the coach a decision should be made within the next ten days.

Meanwhile Conrad says having Gibbs' experience within the team is invaluable.

"He (Gibbs) would make a huge difference in any side he played for. It will also be a first for many of our guys on the international stage. The more experienced international players you have around you ! it makes the transition a lot easier for the local players who have only played at a domestic level."
