PSL already signed star like Kevin Pietersen and Chris Gayle, and Australians Brad Haddin and Brad Hodge and latest signing of Watson would take the league to another level.

“I am very excited to be involved in the inaugural PSL,” said Watson, who last month told sport website that he was interested in playing in the tournament.

“There are a lot of world class players involved so I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
