New Delhi, July 1: The Warwickshire County Cricket Club has signed Indian all-rounder Krunal Pandya, who will compete in the 2022 Royal London Cup, a domestic one-day competition in England. Krunal, the elder brother of Hardik Pandya, who recently led India in a two-match T20I series against Ireland, was hailed by Warwickshire’s Director of Cricket, Paul Farbrace, as ‘an amazing signing for the club.’
“I’m extremely excited to get the opportunity to play county cricket and to join such a history Club as Warwickshire. Edgbaston is a special place to play cricket and I can’t wait to call it my home,” said Pandya.
“I hope I can play my part in a success 50-over campaign with the Club and I am looking forward to meeting my team mates. I would like to extend my gratitude to both Warwickshire County Cricket Club and BCCI for this opportunity,” he added.
In this summer’s Royal London Cup competition, which runs from August 2 to August 23, Warwickshire will compete in eight group-stage matches, with four of those games taking place at home at Edgbaston.
Pandya has appeared in 76 List A games, appearing in 19 T20Is, five ODIs, and taking 89 wickets while scoring 2,231 runs. He played for the Lucknow Super Giants in the 2022 season and has won the Indian Premier League (IPL) many times with the Mumbai Indians.
