Sussex have signed Sri Lankan Tillakaratne Dilshan for the 2010 Friends Provident t20.

Dilshan, 33, has an abundance of talent with the bat, is an electric fielder, can keep wicket, and bowls useful off-spin.

The right-handed bat was signed by the Delhi Daredevils for the inaugural IPL in 2008 and is more recently famous for inventing an astonishing flick-shot over his head, which got the cricket world talking. The shot has become known as 'The Dilscoop' and helped him to win the award of Player-of-the-Series at the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009 - amassing 317 runs at an average of 52.38.
