Monty Panesar has signed a three-year contract extension at Sussex.
The 29-year-old off-spinner was the second-highest wicket-taker in Division One of the LV County Championship this summer, behind only Worcestershire's Alan Richardson.
Panesar, who last played for England in July 2009, has claimed 121 first-class wickets in two seasons since moving to Hove from Northamptonshire, adding 42 in limited-overs cricket.
He said: "I am delighted to have pledged my future to Sussex. The club are going through an exciting period and I'm looking forward to helping them challenge for trophies. I aim to repay their faith by continuing my good form while also improving my chances of reclaiming a place in the England side."
