Gayle to play in Australia

West Indies captain Chris Gayle will join Western Australia for the domestic Twenty/Twenty competition.
Gayle, who has questioned the future of Test cricket amid the popularity of Twenty/Twenty, will be Western Australia\'s international import for the tournament.
The top two Australian provinces qualify for the Twenty/Twenty Champions League, which will be launched in India later this year.
Western Australia signed the 29-year-old Gayle after failing to persuade former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist to come out of international retirement for the Twenty/Twenty squad.
His West Indies teammate Dwayne Bravo has signed to play for Victoria state.
