New Zealander Ross Taylor is the latest overseas player to join the inaugural Caribbean Premier League, following Australians Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting.
"I am very excited about playing in the first ever edition of the CPL. As current world champions, West Indies have been a force in T20 cricket over the past couple of years, and CPL should help uncover new international superstars in the mould of Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine.
