Renegade Tait to play for Melbourne

Updated July 5, 2011 15:04:00

The only domestic cricket Shaun Tait will play in Adelaide this summer will be in Victorian colours.

Tait has signed with the Melbourne Renegades in the new national Twenty20 competition.

The speedster played his last Sheffield Shield game in 2008 and announced his retirement from fifty-overs cricket after this year's World Cup.

Tait is likely to compete against many of his former Redback team mates, who are expected to join the Adelaide-based Strikers.

Renegades Coach Simon Helmot says Tait will bolster an already formidable line-up.

"He's going to complement our pace bowling attack with Dirk Nannes and Shane Harwood and we're most excited about him coming across," he said.
