Indian Test batsman VVS Laxman has signed up to play for Lancashire in 2009, the English county side announced on Wednesday.

The move, which still requires approval by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, will see the player arrive in England after his Indian Premier League participation and stay for the rest of the season.

A previous four-week stint with the county in 2007 yielded 541 runs in eight matches, averaging 54.28 in first-class cricket.
