Lancashire have announced the return of Pakistan fast bowler Junaid Khan for this summer's NatWest T20 Blast.
The 27-year-old has signed up for a third spell at Old Trafford. In 2011 he took 12 wickets in eight T20 matches while in 2014 he took 19 in 10 at an average of 14, helping the Lancashire reach Finals Day in both campaigns.
Khan, who also played one Championship match in the 2011 title-winning season and represented Middlesex in the Royal London Cup in 2015, will be available throughout the competition for Lancashire.
"I thoroughly enjoyed both my spells at Emirates Old Trafford and I'm looking forward to linking up with the squad later this summer," he told Lancashire's official website.
"The whole club made me feel incredibly welcome when I played for Lancashire in 2011 and 2014. The experiences I gained in those years has enhanced my performance in my ability to swing and seam when bowling.
"The different climate conditions have also strengthened me as player and hopefully this year I can give something back, both on the field and off the field.
"In both 2011 and 2014 the team reached Finals Day so it would great to get back there again this year and win some more silverware for this great club, following 2015's triumph."
