"I'm confident that I will bring my positive mindset and experience to help my teammates win in any situation in the match."

Northants head coach, John Sadler, added: "Sid has a lot of experience with the ball, he's played a lot of first-class cricket and is keen to make a big impact when he joins the squad.

"He's finished his domestic season over in India where he picked up some good form so hopefully he continues that on with us."
