LANCASHIRE have signed Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara as their overseas player for the 2010 season.
Sangakkara has played for Sri Lanka for the past decade and is one of international cricket's most consistent batsman with a Test average of 55.10.
The 32-year-old will join up with the Red Rose county after the ICC World Twenty20 and the proposed Asia Cup.
"Kumar is a hot property at the moment and rightly so," said Lancashire's head coach Peter Moores.
