Glamorgan have bolstered their bowling options for the NatWest T20 Blast with the capture of South Africa paceman Wayne Parnell for 10 South Group matches.
The 25-year-old left-armer, whose deal is subject to clearance from Cricket South Africa plus a successful visa application, is expected to be available for the Welsh county’s opener with Surrey at the Kia Oval a week on Friday.
Parnell, also a useful lower-order batsman, will link up with compatriots Colin Ingram and Jacques Rudolph at the SWALEC Stadium.
Parnell, set for his third spell in county cricket following stints at Sussex Sharks and Kent Spitfires respectively, said: "I'm very excited about the prospects of joining up with both Jacques Rudolph and Colin Ingram and playing for Glamorgan.
"T20 cricket has been a strength for Glamorgan and I'm keen to contribute to a successful campaign."

Parnell is an experienced performer on the international scene, having represented the Proteas in four Tests, 46 one-day internationals and 33 Twenty20s.
He has taken 36 wickets in the latter at an average of 23.61 and has also claimed 118 wickets in as many domestic sprint-format matches at 25.08.
Glamorgan Cricket chief executive and director of cricket Hugh Morris said: "We are delighted to have secured the services of Wayne Parnell, who was earmarked at a young age as one of South Africa's brightest talents and who is a naturally gifted all-rounder.
"He will give us a wicket-taking threat and also the potential for valuable runs. Even more importantly, Wayne is available to us for the vast majority of our NatWest T20 Blast group games and we will re-visit discussions around a potential extension as the competition unfolds."
