This team, which became the spring in Umesh Yadav’s life, will now shine here

New Delhi. Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav has signed a contract with Division One English county side Essex for the remainder of the 2023 Championship season. With three matches left in the season, he will replace injured New Zealand fast bowler Doug Bracewell, making him the second active overseas player to join the team this season after South Africa’s Simon Harmer.

This will be Umesh’s second county season. He played for Middlesex in Division Two last season, taking four wickets. But after three matches he could not play further due to injury. Umesh will feature in Essex’s playing XI for the remaining matches against Middlesex, Hampshire and Northamptonshire.

In a media release issued by the club, Umesh said, “I am delighted to join Essex and look forward to making a significant contribution to the team’s success.” “I enjoyed playing for Middlesex last season,” he said. Be a good comeback. It would be good to test yourself by playing again in this position.

Umesh has played 57 Tests, 75 ODIs and nine T20 Internationals for India in which he has taken 288 international wickets. His last match for India was against Australia in the final of the ICC World Test Championship at the Oval two months ago.
