            <asp:BoundField DataField="CITY" HeaderText="CITY" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="COUNTRY" HeaderText="COUNTRY" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="REVISED_DATE" HeaderText="REVISED DATE" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="EMAIL_DATE" HeaderText="EMAIL DATE" />

Try using a <TemplateField /> instead

<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="cbSelect"/>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
