West Indies allrounder Dwayne Smith has been re-signed by Sussex for the Friends Life t20.
Smith help Sussex to victory in the 2009 Twenty20 Cup final by hitting 59 from 26 balls.
Smith, 30, is currently playing for Mumbai Indians in the IPL-6.
“I’m very happy to be joining Sussex again,” Smith said. “I can’t wait to get back to my second home and the lovely crowd at Hove.”
Sussex’s professional cricket manager, Mark Robinson, said: “Dwayne has the ability to win games by himself with the bat, he is a more-than-useful bowler and he is one of the best fielders ever to have been seen at Hove. He is immensely popular with the players, the members and the sponsors and everybody is excited about his return.”
The first match of Friends Life t20 2013 will be played at Ageas Bowl, Southampton, between Hampshire and Surrey on 26 June 2013.
