India’s bowling all-rounder Jayant Yadav joined Middlesex for their last four games of the season in the County Championship. This would be his second stint in the County Championship after having represented Warwickshire previously. With this, he joined the likes of other Indian players such as Umesh Yadav, Prithvi Shaw and Sai Sudharsan to be a part of the championship.
Middlesex gave the confirmation of signing the Indian all-rounder for their last four games. In an official statement released by the team, Middlesex said, “Middlesex Cricket is delighted to announce that Indian Test spinner, Jayant Yadav, has signed for the Club for the last four LV= Insurance County Championship matches of the season.”
It further read, “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.”
Middlesex’s Director of Cricket, Alan Coleman, welcomed Yadav in the team and said, “We feel that spin will be an important factor in September and the opportunity to sign an international spinner of Jayant’s quality was too good an opportunity to turn down. He brings us that extra bit of something you get from an international cricketer.”
Notably, Yadav made his debut in international cricket for India in 2016, when he joined the squad in the Test format. In the Indian Premier League, Yadav is a part of previous champions Gujarat Titans.
