India star all-rounder joins Hampshire for final two County Championship matches

Hampshire signed the 25-year-old all-rounder for their matches against Somerset and Surrey.

“A signing we are certain of. Welcome, Washi. Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar will join the Rose and Crown for our final two @countychamp matches,” Hampshire Cricket posted on X.

Giles White, Director of Cricket at Hampshire expressed his happiness at the signing of a player who excelled during the intensely fought five-match Test series between Indian and England earlier this summer.

“We’re delighted to bring Washington to the club for the County Championship. He had an excellent series against England this summer and he’ll play a key role with two big games coming up against Somerset and Surrey,” White said.

In the thrilling five-match series, Washington scored 284 runs at an average of 47, with a maiden century at Old Trafford as India saved the game, and he has also picked up seven wickets at 38.57.
