Smith back at Sussex after Windies recall

Following his recall to the West Indies team for the upcoming one-day tour of Australia, English county club Sussex have signed West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Smith for their defence of the 20/Twenty Cup.



Chief executive Dave Brooks has confirmed the 26-year-old as the county’s second overseas player alongside Pakistani Yasir Arafat.



Sussex were in danger of losing out on Smith for the new season after his Kolpak status expired last October but his recall to the 15-man Windies squad this week after a near three-year absence opened the door again.



Smith was a key player in the 20/Twenty Cup for Sussex last season, scoring 338 runs to be one of the leading batsmen. His 59 off 26 balls in the final against Somerset handed them the title.
