South Africa fast-medium bowler Codi Yusuf is to return to Durham for a second stint, starting with Friday’s T20 Blast game against Northamptonshire Steelbacks.
Yusuf will be available to play in all three formats for the county between now and early September.
The 27-year-old took 17 wickets in four Championship games earlier in the season at an average of just over 20.
But his initial spell was cut short after he was selected for his country’s tour of Zimbabwe, in which Yusuf made his Test debut, taking 10 wickets across the two- match series.
Director of cricket Marcus North told the Durham website, external: “Codi was heavily invested in the club and his performances in the County Championship have warranted his return to Chester-le-Street.”
