Australian spinner Nathan Lyon will get his first taste of the English County scene, after being called-up by Worcestershire.
Lyon will link-up with Worcester later this month, when current member of the squad - John Hastings, leaves to join Australia's side for the upcoming ICC Champion's Trophy event.
"The good thing for Worcestershire supporters is we have replaced a top international with another top international cricketer," Worcestershire director of cricket, Steve Rhodes said.
"Nathan has been mainly playing Test Match cricket for Australia and is available for Worcestershire CCC as he has not been picked for the Champions Trophy, Australia have selected a couple of batting spinners instead.
"He is the number one international spinner in Australia at the moment and just had recent success in India.
"Nathan is a very respected off spinner and we are looking forward to him joining us and replacing John for the time he is away."
