Australian batsman Usman Khawaja has joined the Welsh county cricket side Glamorgan for the summer’s Vitality T20 blast.
The 31-year-old is Glamorgan’s second overseas player for the English domestic T20 competition alongside fellow countryman Shaun Marsh, who will be available to play for the entire season.
Khawaja will be available for all 14 group fixtures in the competition.
“I’m delighted to have signed for Glamorgan for their Vitality Blast campaign and look forward to the challenge of helping them build on the success they achieved in last year’s competition,” the left-handers told the club’s official website.
“From my point of view, it would be great to be able to take them a step further and bring silverware back to Wales.”
He has played 33 Tests, 18 one-day internationals and nine T20Is since making his debut in 2011.
Khawaja has a vast of experience in T20 cricket having featured in the KFC Big Bash League for Sydney Thunder and in the Indian Premier League for Rising Pune Supergiants.
Glamorgan begin their tournament on July 6 against Hampshire.
