Hampshire have signed Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Rangana Herath for the first part of the new Championship season to fill in while fellow Sri Lankan Ajantha Mendis is away on international duty.
Herath, 32, spent some time at Surrey last season and has played 21 Tests, taking 70 wickets at 36.68, since making his debut against Australia in 1999.
Hampshire coach Giles White said: "His availability is good and his record is excellent. Rangana will fill the void left in the early part of the season and enables us to keep balance and continuity."
