Lancashire have signed West Indies pace bowler Anderson Phillip as an overseas player for the final three matches of the County Championship season.
Phillip, 28, will go straight into the squad to face Durham at Chester-le-Street, starting on Monday.
The Trinidadian, who has been playing for Florida-based side Miami Lions, has made two Test and five one-day international appearances for West Indies - and in 33 first-class matches has taken 114 wickets at an average of 23.
During the 2023-24 West Indies First-Class Championship campaign he took 29 wickets in seven matches for Trinidad & Tobago at an average of 18.
"We are really pleased to bolster our pace attack with the addition of Anderson for our remaining matches in this summer’s Vitality County Championship," said Lancashire director of cricket performance Mark Chilton.
"It's great to be able to welcome Anderson into the group."
