The Indian Premier League has expanded to 49 players with the signing of three South Africans and two West Indians. Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and Makhaya Ntini are joined by Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan, the West Indies captain.

"IPL had publicly promised the Indian cricket fans of delivering high voltage Twenty20 cricket action through some of the most talented international and national cricketers," Lalit Modi, the IPL chairman said. "In line with that commitment, I am happy to state that we have completed the first phase by signing some of the best international talent available."

The five players are the latest high-profile members of a star-studded line-up which includes Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi. The tournament gets underway next April.
