Warrier, who has played five IPL matches and a lone Twenty20 International, will join last year's runners-up for his base price of Rs 50 lakh.

Veteran pacer Shami recently underwent a successful surgery for a heel problem and is currently recovering.

Right-arm pacer Warrier, aged 32, played most of his domestic cricket for his home state Kerala before moving over to Tamil Nadu. He played in the recent Ranji Trophy semifinal for Tamil Nadu against Mumbai.
