Gayle enjoys an unparallel reputation for his explosive batting and remains by far the most-sought after player in T20 leagues even ahead of likes AB de Villiers, Brendon McCullum, Glenn Maxwell and others.

“We’re delighted to have Gayle on board for PSL and it can’t get bigger than this,” PSL head Najam Sethi said.

“Apart from Gayle West Indies T20 captain Darren Sammy has also agreed to be part of PSL so we’ve got top two players of the world and there will be more announcements in next few days.”

Apart from the West Indian duo, Sri Lankans Lasith Malinga, Angelo Mathews, Thishara Perrera, West Indies’ Sunile Narine, Kieron Pollard, Samuel Badree and many others have given their consent.
