Australia international fast bowler Shaun Tait has signed for Glamorgan for this season's NatWest T20 Blast.
The 33-year-old Tait was picked to play for Australia in the International T20 Series against India earlier this year and previously enjoyed a Twenty20 spell with Glamorgan in 2010.
Tait appeared in the Pakistan T20 Super League for Peshawar Zalmi last month and his recall to the Australia national set-up came off the back of some hostile spells in the most recent edition of the Big Bash League for the Hobart Hurricanes.
Last season Tait played for Essex in the NatWest T20 Blast, including two impressive performances against Glamorgan in the Group stage, taking 3-28 in Cardiff and 3-33 in Chelmsford, to help the Eagles pip the Welsh county to a qualifying spot in the knockout stages.
Chief Executive Hugh Morris is delighted with the new recruit and the extra firepower he will bring to the Glamorgan attack for 7 games at the end of the group stages of the competition.
We believe we have a very competitive team and as one of the fastest bowlers in the world Shaun will add a cutting edge to our attack, said Hugh.
We are also in negotiations with another overseas player for the first half of the NatWest T20 Blast and hope to make an announcement in the coming weeks.
NatWest T20 Blast season tickets are now available priced £60 for 7 games, with the first game on 1st June, click
