LONDON (AFP) - Australia batsman George Bailey has signed to play for Sussex in the second half of this season s domestic T20 Blast competition, the English county announced on Wednesday.
Bailey, 32, will take over from Sri Lanka great Mahela Jayawardene, who will be Sussex s overseas player for their first seven group fixtures in the tournament.
Bailey, who previously played for Hampshire, has captained Australia in both limited-overs formats and was a member of the squad that triumphed at the World Cup last month.
"I m delighted that I will be heading to Hove and I am looking forward to testing myself once more in one of the toughest domestic cricket environments," Bailey said in a press release.
"I have heard excellent things about the set-up at Sussex, and we have a really exciting squad that I believe can mount title challenges in all formats in 2015."
Sussex s professional cricket manager Mark Robinson said: "The whole club is really excited at the prospect of George joining us.
"He is obviously a fantastic one-day player and is also a World Cup winner and international captain, which will only add to our dressing room."
