New Zealander Neal Parlane will replace Kenya opener Kennedy Otieno as BAT Sports' overseas player in the ECB Southern Electric Premier League this summer.
The 24-year old Kiwi is expected to make his debut in the opening Premier Division 1 match against Bournemouth at Chapel Gate on Saturday week, May 3.
Parlane is a regular provincial cricketer, batting three for Wellington, who finished runners-up in this year's State Championship in New Zealand.
He scored 474 runs in 17 innings for Wellington this season, making a top score of 75 against Canterbury.
