Somerset have announced the signing of the South African left-hander batsman Rilee Rossouw as an overseas player for the upcoming T20 Blast.
He has represented franchises all over the world, including spells with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and Melbourne renegades in the Big Bash League.
The 32-year-old is set to be available for the entire tournament, having previously played for Hampshire.
“I have experience of playing in England and I made 156 at Taunton in a 50-over game a few seasons back,” said Rossouw. “I remember how the members and supporters reacted to that even though I was playing for the opposition. That is something that I’ve never forgotten.
“When the opportunity to play for Somerset came along, I was delighted to take up the challenge. I know that the team got to the final of the Blast last year, and hopefully I can help them go one better this summer.”
