Leeds, June 10
Division One County Championship side Yorkshire County Cricket Club have announced the overseas signing of Indian batter Ruturaj Gaikwad on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old will join up with the Yorkshire squad ahead of the County Championship game against Surrey at Scarborough in July and will remain with the White Rose until the end of the season and will also be available for selection in the Day Cup.
“I’m excited to be joining up with Yorkshire for the rest of the English domestic season. It has always been a goal of mine to experience cricket in this country and there is no bigger Club in England than Yorkshire," Gaikwad said in a statement.
“I know how important it is that I hit the ground running at what will be a crucial part of the season. We have some vital games in the County Championship and the One Day Cup is a great opportunity to win some silverware.”
Gaikwad was in the India A squad for the series against England Lions but did not play in both unofficial Tests after previously being ruled out for the second half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season with a fracture in his elbow.
