Monday 6 March 2017 11:19, UK
Notts Outlaws have signed New Zealand leg-spinner Ish Sodhi for this season's NatWest Blast T20 campaign.
The 24-year-old has taken 21 wickets in 12 T20 Internationals and impressed for Adelaide Strikers in the recent Big Bash, claiming remarkable figures of six for 11 in his final game against Sydney Thunder in January.
Both Sodhi, who has also played in 14 Tests and 15 ODIs, and the Outlaws' other overseas signing, Dan Christian, are set to be available for the whole of this season's Blast matches.

"Ish is a young player whose game has really moved forward," said Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores. "He's growing fast and we're really excited to have him.
"He's not been to England before, so he is an unknown quantity for our opposition and we've seen the impact leg-spinners can have in T20 cricket.
"He's also a good fielder, he bats down the order and will be part of the side for the whole tournament, which is a big thing.
"To have a settled unit with Dan and Ish right the way through, it means we can be really clear in the style we're playing."
