#Chris Gayle signs contract with Somerset County Cricket Club
London, Jan 28 (IBNS): Somerset County Cricket Club on Thursday announced that West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle has signed a six match contract to appear in this seasons NatWest T20 Blast from June 1.
Gayle said he enjoyed his time at the club last year.

Chris Gayle was quoted as saying by the club website: “I really enjoyed my time at Somerset last year.  It’s a great Club and the supporters were absolutely incredible.  I’m looking forward to seeing the fans again and to scoring some more runs.  Hopefully I can help the Club make it through to the later stages of the NatWest T20 Blast.”

Director of Cricket Matt Maynard was quoted as saying by the club website: “We are absolutely delighted to have secured the services of Chris Gayle once again.  He is a genuinely world class player and was absolutely phenomenal for us last year. He is probably the biggest name in the sport at the moment and his performances in the Big Bash recently have only underlined his status as one of the most explosive players that cricket has ever seen.  Taunton was absolutely rocking when he was out in the middle last year and Somerset fans can look forward to more of the same in 2016.”
