Yorkshire have signed South African batsman David Miller for the Friends Life t20.

The 22-year-old, who has represented his country in 16 one-day internationals and eight Twenty20s, is the White Rose’s second acquisition after the arrival of Australian left-arm paceman Mitchell Starc.

Yorkshire have filled their overseas quota for the Friends Life t20 with the capture of South African batsman David Miller

Miller, fresh from competing in the Indian Premier League with Kings XI Punjab, has previous experience of playing in the competition following his time at Durham in 2011, and will be at skipper Andrew Gale’s disposal for the whole campaign.

Yorkshire's director of cricket Martyn Moxon said: "David is available for the whole tournament which made him an attractive proposition.

"You look at his strike-rate, he averages 120-plus per 100 balls, and in the Indian Premier League he’s been scoring at 150-plus.

"He’s that explosive type of player we’ve been looking for. I’m excited by the squad we’ve assembled for this campaign."
