Somerset have pulled off a coup by signing all-action West Indies batsman Chris Gayle for this year's domestic T20 Blast competition, the English county announced on Monday.
The explosive 35-year-old opener will join Somerset in late May, depending on how long his involvement in the Indian Premier League lasts, and will remain with the team until June 13. The swashbuckling Gayle has amassed 8,000 runs in his Twenty20 career, including 13 centuries, and Somerset's director of cricket Matthew Maynard said his signing was "tremendously exciting for the club". "I'm excited about joining Somerset for the NatWest T20 Blast this year," Gayle said in a statement on the Somerset website.
