Chris Gayle, the West Indies batsman, is among a number of current and former international cricketers who will play in the Stanbic Bank 20 Series, Zimbabwe's domestic Twenty20 competition. Gayle is part of the Tuskers squad while Shaun Tait, the Australia fast bowler, and Lou Vincent, the New Zealand batsman, will play for the Mid West Rhinos. Netherlands allrounder Ryan ten Doeschate is part of the Eagles squad, while Australia fast bowler Dirk Nannes will turn out for the Mountaineers.

Gayle has not played for West Indies since the 2011 World Cup, following a breakdown in his relations with the West Indies Cricket Board. Since then he has been restricted mostly to domestic Twenty20s around the world, and has become an integral part of Royal Challengers Bangalore's squad in the IPL and Champions League T20. He was the leading run-getter at this year's IPL.

Also part of the Twenty20s in Zimbabwe will be former South Africa allrounder Andrew Hall, who is player-coach of the Eagles franchise, and former New Zealand allrounder Chris Harris, who will continue with Mountaineers from last season. One big name missing out is Lance Klusener, the former South Africa allrounder, who played for Mountaineers last season.
