South African all-rounder David Wiese has followed the lead of countrymen Kyle Abbott and Rilee Rossouw after English county Sussex announced his arrival on a three-year contract on Monday.

Abbott and Rossouw effectively ended their international careers by signing for Hampshire last week and Wiese has followed suit. The 31-year-old has played six ODIs and 20 Twenty20s for South Africa.

"I am very excited to be joining Sussex on a long-term deal," Wiese said in a Sussex press release. "I would like to thank CSA for giving me the opportunity of fulfilling my lifelong dream of representing my country in the sport I love."
