Gayle, 31, has been involved in a protracted dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board and has not turned out for the team since he played in a World Cup quarter-final against Pakistan in Dhaka on March 23.
The left-handed Gayle, who will join the Dolphins next February, is regarded as one of the most devastating batsmen in world cricket and has scored 6 373 runs in his 91 test matches, while he has accumulated 8 087 runs in 228 ODIs.
In the 20 T20 internationals he has played, Gayle has bludgeoned 617 runs at a strike-rate of 144,49 and he is one of only five men to have scored a T20 international century.
