New Zealand fast bowler Ian Butler has signed Nottinghamshire for their first Friends Life T20 match against Leicestershire. He will join the county side after the T20I against England at the Oval.
"The Notts Outlaws squad looks very strong and I feel well prepared having played two twenty20 internationals this week," Butler said. "There is a great tradition of New Zealand cricketers doing well with Nottinghamshire and I am really looking forward to playing at Trent Bridge."
Butler has played 26 ODIs, 18 T20Is and eight Tests for New Zealand and has taken 75 wickets.

"Ian has a good international pedigree and he was very effective bowling to England's top order in Tuesday's match, We're placing a heavy workload on Ajmal Shahzad, Luke Fletcher and Harry Gurney and this signing will improve our quality and depth."
