At 6ft 8in, Billy Stanlake is the tallest player to have represented Australia

Yorkshire have signed Australia fast bowler Billy Stanlake for this season's T20 Blast.

The 23-year-old, who has played six T20 internationals, is set to play a minimum of 12 games for the Vikings.

Stanlake helped Australia win the Trans-Tasman Twenty20 tri-series, featuring New Zealand and England, on Wednesday.

"It'll be a great experience and hopefully an exciting few weeks," he said.

"It's a huge club with great history and tradition and I've only heard positive things from the guys who have been there in the past."

Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon added: "We're delighted to have Billy on board.

"He's someone I noticed when I went out to see Jason Gillespie in the Big Bash. He's a tall, fast bowler with pace and is a wicket-taking option for us."

Stanlake joins New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson as one of Yorkshire's overseas players for the T20 Blast.
