Surrey have signed Australian fast bowler Ryan Harris on a short-term contract to cover for Grant Elliott's absence.
The 29-year-old had been set for a long-term deal with Sussex at the start of last season, before opting to remain as a full-time player with Queensland.
Elliott will be missing for a few weeks as he is part of New Zealand's squad for the ICC World Twenty20.
Surrey cricket manager Chris Adams commented: "We have a taxing stretch of matches coming up and bringing someone like Ryan into the squad will give everyone a boost.
"His pace, aggression and all-round capabilities mean that he will be a welcome addition to our squad for the upcoming games."
