Yorkshire have signed Sri Lanka pace bowler Vishwa Fernando for their next three County Championship matches.
The 32-year-old left-armer has taken 64 wickets in 23 Tests and has also played nine white-ball internationals.
He is set to make his Yorkshire debut in the Division Two game at Northampton, starting on 24 May.
And he will remain at Headingley for matches against Gloucestershire at Scarborough and Derbyshire at Chesterfield in the second half of June.
Fernando played two Championship games for Durham last summer, taking seven wickets, including best figures of 4-40 against Leicestershire.
He has most recently been playing for Colombo CC in Sri Lanka's domestic T20 competition.
