Yorkshire have signed former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq as they reach the final stages of their bid to clinch the Championship title.

Inzamam, 37, one of the world's greatest batsmen will be available for the game against Warwickshire at Scarborough next Wednesday.

Yorkshire then come up against title-holders Sussex at Hove and their final game is when Hampshire visit Headingley Carnegie.

Inzamam is due to arrive in England today and he will practice with the Yorkshire squad at Grace Road on Sunday before their NatWest Pro40 game with Leicestershire.

Inzamam will replace Younus Khan, due to return home to join up with the Pakistan squad for the World Twenty20 in South Africa next month. His last appearance will be for Yorkshire Phoenix at Cardiff.

Director of cricket, Martyn Moxon, said: "We were looking for someone to replace Younus who is a high quality player and I think that Inzamam fits that bill."
