Middlesex have agreed a deal to sign Ireland fast bowler Josh Little.
The 25-year-old will feature mainly in the club’s T20 Blast squad, but is available for other formats if needed.
His move is subject to Cricket Ireland issuing a No Objection Certificate and his commitments with his national team.
Little has played in the Indian Premier League for Gujarat Titans and has also had spells in T20 competitions in Sri Lanka, South Africa and the Caribbean
He has also featured for both Manchester Originals and Welsh Fire in The Hundred.
Little has played 71 T20 matches for Ireland and 39 One Day Internationals, taking 139 wickets for his country in both formats – including 4-45 on his ODI debut against England.
“To secure a player of Josh’s T20 experience and proven ability is huge for us, as he has performed at the highest level of white-ball cricket around the world for the last few years, Middlesex director of cricket Alan Coleman told the club website.
“He brings something different to our attack. He’s got genuine pace, is a left-armer, which in itself poses problems for batters, has a fierce short ball, and has skills that make him perfect for bowling both at the top and in the death overs of an innings.”
