    Unadkat will play alongside Indian team-mate Cheteshwar Pujara at Sussex.

    "I have been following the team's recent run of success and I had a nice conversation with Paul Farbrace, Sussex head coach, and it looks like I can definitely add value and contribute towards the team's goals," said Unadkat. 

    "The English County Championship has a wonderful legacy, and I was keen to grab the opportunity whenever I can and it seems to be the right time for me at this point in my career.

    "I hope to add to the laurels that my dear friend and team-mate, Cheteshwar, has been adding aplenty while representing Sussex for the last couple of seasons, and more importantly helping the team win games."

    The 31-year-old Unadkat has played 103 first-class matches. This tally includes four Tests.
