Northamptonshire have signed the Australian batsman Chris Lynn for the T20 Blast this season. The 32-year-old, who has established a reputation as one of the hardest hitters in the T20 format, has never previously played in the county cricket. "I have always wanted to play county cricket and I'm really looking forward to joining up with Northamptonshire for the Vitality Blast," said Lynn. "The UK is a great place to play, and I am hopeful that I can contribute with some good performances and also try to entertain the Steelback fans this summer." Lynn joins NZ allrounder Jimmy Neesham as Northamptonshire's second overseas player for the competition.

The South African batsman, Richard Levi has signed Northamptonshire for the Friends Life t20 competition that begins on June 26. Levi will join the squad in match against Gloucestershire on June 28.  Northamptonshire head coach, David Ripley said, " We are delighted to welcome Richard to the County Ground as he will add much needed firepower to the top of our order. " "His willingness to jump on a plane and get over here at very short notice is testament to his desire to play not just for us, but to try and force himself back into international contention - something we hope this stint at Northants (Northamptonshire) will help him achieve. "We are looking forward to Richard joining Cameron White here at the County Ground as we go all out for a place in the latter stages of the Friends Life t20."
