Pakistan-born allrounder, Ashar Zaidi has penned a two-year contract with Sussex.
It has been reported that The 32-year-old is the replacement of Monty Panesar with a spin option in next season.
"It is an honour to sign for Sussex and this is a really big achievement for me, especially after a few years' break from the pro game," Zaidi said. "I'm really grateful for the chance that they have given me.
"I'll be aiming to justify that chance over the next couple of seasons. I'm hoping for enough opportunities to perform, and to open my chances for the future."
Zaidi, who made his debut for Islamabad in 1999, He has also recently appeared in the Dhaka Premier Division.
Sussex's captain, Ed Joyce, said: "Ash fitted into the squad really well and impressed everyone with his canny left-arm spin and attractive strokeplay. He will hopefully fulfil the spin role for us in four-day cricket while possibly also allowing us to play an extra seamer when the conditions suit.
"He is also a very capable one-day cricketer as seen by his recent performances in the Dhaka Premier League and we're hopeful he can play a big role for us in both the shorter formats."
