Indian spinner Sai Kishore has signed a deal with Surrey in Division One of the County Championship and will be available for the first two first-class games at the end of July.

He will be playing in the fixtures against Yorkshire (July 22-25) and then in Chester-le-Street to face Durham (July 29 – August 01). However, it will be interesting to see if he will be named in Surrey’s final XI against Yorkshire.

He might be matching up against former Chennai Super Kings teammate Ruturaj Gaikwad who joined Yorkshire recently.

He also led IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans to victory in the final of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL).

Joining the side, Sai Kishore said, “I’m really excited to be joining Surrey for the next two County Championship matches. Surrey is one of the most prestigious clubs in the world, and I have heard great things about the set-up from lots of different people in the game.”

The Surrey High-performance advisor said, “I’m delighted to bring the highly rated Sai Kishore into our squad for the next two Kookaburra games.

“All the reports I have received from people I respect in the Indian game have spoken highly of him. His four-day record for Tamil Nadu is very good and he brings leadership experience to the group,” Alec Stewart Surrey High-performance advisor said.
