Sussex coach, Mark Robinson, said he was looking forward to Rana's presence in the dressing room, and expressed the hope that he would he would showcase his all-round talent during upcoming matches.
"We are extremely fortunate to have a player of the quality of Naved to cover Yasir.
He knows the club well, will fit in quickly and add some depth to our bowling attack as well as provide some useful runs," The Daily Times quoted Robinson, as saying.
The 32-year-old fast bowler has an impressive first class record with 139 wickets at an average of 22.41 to his name. (ANI)
