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.
