Has YK played the FC matches too?

Will Gul play just the lmt overs matches or FC matches too?

Younis Khan has been playing the Shield games.

Gul and ST will only be there for T20 which makes the tour counterproductive.

WESTERN Australia have turned to Pakistani paceman Umar Gul as they attempt to qualify for next year's Champions League Twenty20 tournament.

In a major coup, the Warriors have signed Gul for this summer's domestic Twenty20 tournament, in which the two finalists will qualify for next year's lucrative Champions League event.

Gul, 24, was one of Pakistan's brightest stars as the nation reached the final of the last year's ICC Twenty20 World Cup tournament in South Africa.

The right-armer has snared 20 wickets at a phenomenal average of 12.2 over 13 Twenty20 internationals, while he has also notched 16 Tests and 51 one-day internationals for his country.

Gul also played for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2008 Indian Premier League.

With regular WA pacemen Ben Edmondson and Arron Crawford struggling with injury, and Trent Kelly out of form, Warriors coach Tom Moody said someone of Gul's experience would provide the team with a valuable edge.

"The importance of the Big Bash competition has risen considerably in the past two seasons with places in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament up for grabs," Moody said.

"Every team has to make sure that they have the right personnel on board in their quest to be successful, and having Umar in our ranks, who is without doubt an excellent Twenty20 performer, is very timely given the unfortunate run we have recently experienced with injury and form."

The recent Mumbai terror attacks forced the cancellation of the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 tournament.

WA and Victoria, who had qualified for the tournament by reaching last year's domestic Twenty20 final, were set to reap at least $600,000 in appearance fees and prizemoney, but now must try to qualify again.

The Warriors begin their Twenty20 campaign with away fixtures against South Australia on December 28 and NSW on December 30, before returning to Perth for a clash with Tasmania on January 4.
