Middlesex have signed New Zealand pace bowler Mitchell McClenaghan to boost their NatWest T20 Blast squad this summer.
McClenaghan will add to the Kiwi flavour at Lord's with Test captain Brendon McCullum also joining the county, and he may also be available to play in other formats.
The 29-year-old left-armer played four games for Middlesex in Twenty20 cricket last season, taking eight wickets at an average of 13 runs with a good economy rate.
Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said: "I am delighted to have Mitchell back playing T20 cricket this summer. He made a really positive impression on myself and everyone at the club in 2015.
"He will join us after the IPL and be available to play in at least 12 of our group matches. He is also available to play Royal London One Day Cup and County Championship cricket if needs require.
"Mitchell gets modern limited over cricket, its mood, its uncertainty, its ups and downs and the fact a bowler needs to be deliberately unpredictable.
"He has the skills and mindset to be constantly competitive in these forms of the game. Mitchell makes things happen when he bowls and has an outstanding record in both 50 and 20 over cricket."
