Australian Test seamer Peter Siddle will be Lancashire's overseas player for the 2015 cricket season, the English Division Two county announced on Thursday.
The 30-year-old, dropped by Australia during last December's Test series win over India, will return to England for a second consecutive summer after playing for Nottinghamshire last year.
Siddle, who has claimed 192 wickets in 56 Tests, is well known to English cricket fans, having been a member of the Australia squad that whitewashed England in the 2013-14 Ashes.
He took 37 wickets for Nottinghamshire in 2014 and is closing on the landmark of 400 victims in first-class cricket.
"I enjoyed my time in England last season with Nottinghamshire and when I heard of Lancashire's interest I had no hesitation in speaking with Ashley," Siddle said.
