The Indian spinner Jayant Yadav joined Middlesex on Friday and will participate in the last four County Championship games.
Jayant will be fit to play for Middlesex against Essex "later this week," the club announced in a statement.
"The Delhi-born right-arm off-spinner will join Middlesex later this week and be available to play in the first of those four crucial encounters, when we take on Essex at Chelmsford next week, and then in the three-remaining red-ball games of the season," the statement read.
Yadav, 33, has played for Warwickshire in the last season and this will mark his second county stint in a row since he represented them in a few games last year. In the match against Gloucestershire, he took a five-wicket haul and four additional wickets in the same match.

Jayant made his India debut in 2016, and since then has participated in six Tests and two ODIs. He had a century against England in Mumbai and 16 wickets in Tests.
"With Pieter Malan returning home to South Africa we wanted to bolster the squad with another quality signing ahead of four crucial matches that lay ahead of us in September," said Middlesex's director of cricket Alan Coleman.
"He brings us that extra bit of something you get from an international cricketer, experience, quality, know-how — all attributes that will prove hugely valuable to us in the coming games,” he added.
