Gayle signs with South African franchise
Former West Indies captain Chris Gayle has signed to play for South African franchise the Dolphins in the South African domestic Twenty20 competition, the Durban-based team announced today.
The inspirational Gayle -- who led his team to a shock 128-run first-Test victory at the end of December 2007, impressing throughout with his leadership and brutal stroke-making -- will return home on Tuesday after suffering what has since proved to be a tour-ending thumb injury in his team's second-Test loss in Cape Town earlier this month.
