Surrey snap up Tait

Australia paceman Shaun Tait will play for Surrey in this year's Friends Provident t20.

The 27-year-old will be available for the entire duration of the tournament, including quarter-finals and finals day should Surrey reach that far.

He played Twenty20 cricket for Glamorgan last year having also previously spent a short stint in England with Durham back in 2004.

Tait, who has been picked in Australia's squad for the first one-dayer of the series against England on Sunday, is looking forward to playing at the Oval.

Exciting

"This is a pretty exciting move for me,"he said. I've a bit of unfinished business in county cricket and I'll be giving it my all for Surrey this year.

"I always strive to take wickets and love being part of a close-knit team.

"Some good reports about how Surrey are shaping up for 2011 have been filtering through so I'm confident that the team can go a few steps further this year in the FPt20.

"Finals day is something I really want to be involved in."
