Northamptonshire Co unty Cricket Club are delighted that Indian international Yuzvendra Chahal will join the club for the final One Day Cup match at Kent and the remaining five County Championship fixtures. The leg-spinner will join up with the squad ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Canterbury before being available for the rest of the red-ball campaign.
The 34-year-old became the first player in IPL history to take over 200 wickets and he brings tons of experience to the County and is excited to get together with his new teammates at the back of the 2024 season. Also previously an India youth international in the sport of chess, Chahal spent time at Kent in the 2023 season, taking nine wickets in two of their final three Division One matches of the campaign.
Head Coach John Sadler is thrilled to add Chalal to his squad and is expecting him to add extra variety and depth to the club’s bowling attack. “Yuzvendra is another high-profile overseas player who brings with him a wealth of experience and some incredible skills,” he said. “His record speaks for itself and his wicket-taking ability will add strength to our attack.”
