LONDON, Jan 14: Australia fast bowler Shaun Tait will play for Surrey in English cricket’s domestic Twenty20 competition this season, it was announced by the Oval-based county on Thursday.

Tait, who now restricts himself to limited-overs cricket because of a shoulder injury, is currently playing for Australia in their ongoing limited-overs contests at home to England.

The 27-year-old is set to be available for the entire duration of the tournament including, should Surrey quality, finals day at Edgbaston on Aug 27.

“This is a pretty exciting move for me,” Tait said in a Surrey statement. “I’ve a bit of unfinished business in county cricket and I’ll be giving it my all for Surrey this year,” added the paceman, who briefly appeared for Glamorgan in last year’s edition, having previously had a short stint with Durham back in 2004.—AFP
