T20 World Cup: Paarl Royals have signed former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik for SA20 season 3, the franchise confirmed on Tuesday.

The 39-year-old, who had announced retirement from all forms of cricket earlier in June will become the first-ever Indian to participate in the SA20.

Karthik had a stellar international career for India, being part of the team's ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2007 and ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2013 wins. He represented India in 180 international matches across formats and registered 172 dismissals to his name behind the stumps.
