South Africa leg-spinner Imran Tahir will be Surrey's second overseas player in this summer's T20 Blast competition.

He has taken more than 300 wickets in T20 cricket and played for Chennai in Sunday's Indian Premier League final.

Tahir has previously played county cricket for Derbyshire, Durham, Hampshire, Middlesex, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Yorkshire.
"Imran is a proven match-winner and with his vast experience of international, county and franchise cricket will be a huge asset to us," director of cricket Alec Stewart told the Surrey website., external
