DHAKA, Bangladesh (CMC) -- Superstar Chris Gayle headlines nine West Indian players set to participate in the Bangladesh Premier League starting next month, following Thursday's player draft here.

The left-handed Gayle will turn out for Barisal Bulls alongside all-rounder Kevon Cooper and left-handed batsman Evin Lewis, both of whom hail from Trinidad and Tobago.

Gayle said following the Caribbean Twenty20 back in July that he was expected to undergo surgery to deal with a troublesome back, and may have been out of action until December.

While he has not retired from Tests, he has not played one since last year September.
