The 26-year-old, who has already claimed 44 wickets in this season's LV County Championship, will return to the county next year subject to Pakistan Cricket Board approval.

"I'm delighted because I love to be with the Essex team. I am an Essex man now and enjoy being over here," Kaneria told the club's official website.

"All of the negotiations with [chief executive] David East have gone well and I've been signed again for the coming year with Essex.

"I'm learning day by day and getting better all the time. In the years to come, I hope to give better performances than I am giving now."

East added: "We are obviously very pleased that Danish has decided to play for Essex again in 2008.

"Danish is a world-class player who is doing a fabulous job and is clearly enjoying his cricket - which is evident from his results and the smile on his face.

"Danish's return next year is, as always, subject to the agreement of the PCB."
