Jonny Bairstow has signed a short-term deal with T10 side Kerala Knights.
Bairstow was named Man of the Match in this week's third Test against Sri Lanka, after marking his return to the side with a matchwinning 110 in the first innings at Colombo. He will leave for the UAE this evening while his England team-mates prepare to fly home at the end of their 3-0 series win.
Bairstow is set to link up with his England white-ball captain, Eoin Morgan, Kerala Knights' captain, as well as his ODI team-mate Tom Curran and other stars of the white-ball game, including the West Indies pair of Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard.
Bairstow could be in the UAE for less than a week. He will be available for Knights' two remaining group matches, against Northern Warriors and Bengal Tigers on November 29 and 30, and then, if the team qualifies, the knock-out stages, with the final scheduled for December 2.
