Cape Town - English county side Kent have confirmed the signing of Proteas fast bowler Vernon Philander on a short-term deal.
According to the Sky Sports website, Philander will represent the division two strugglers over the next month before joining Jamaica in the Caribbean Premier League, which begins on July 30.
The 28-year-old, who has taken 89 wickets at an average of 17.13 in 16 Tests, is available to play all forms of cricket for the county.
Kent chairperson Graham Johnson is delighted to have the South African star at the Spitfire Ground, even if only for a short spell.
