When Yuzvendra Chahal didn’t get a place in the World Cup 2023 squad, he took a big decision, signing with this overseas team.

New Delhi. India’s star leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has signed with English county team Kent. Chahal will play three matches for Kent in the County Championship. He will be available for the home matches against Nottinghamshire and Lancashire, while Chahal will play against Somerset in the away matches. “It is an exciting challenge for me to play in English county cricket and I am very much looking forward to it,” Yuzvendra Chahal said in a statement issued by county club Kent.

Let us tell you that Yuzvendra Chahal was recently not included in the 15-member squad selected for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. However, many veteran players are also criticizing Chahal for not selecting him. Kuldeep Yadav has been selected to replace Chahal in the Indian squad for the ODI World Cup. At the same time, Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel have been picked as spin all-round options.

Chahal previously played for Arshdeep Singh Kent.
Yuzvendra Chahal will become the second Indian to play for the Kent team after fast bowler Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep took 13 wickets in five matches for Kent in June-July. Kent Club coach Paul Downton said, “We are delighted to have a quality spinner like Yuzvendra Chahal for the last three Championship matches of the season. Matt Parkinson isn’t available for us until next year, and Hami Kadri has been injured recently.

Chahal’s first-class performance has been superb
He further added, “He is really looking forward to playing in English conditions and will bring much needed skills and international experience to our team.” Let it be known that Chahal has not yet made his Test debut for India. However, he has taken 87 wickets in 33 first-class matches at an average of 35.25. Chahal’s best figures are 6 wickets for 44 runs in an innings and 8 wickets for 112 runs in a match.

Kent are ninth in the Division 1 table.
If we look at his recent first-class performances, he featured in two matches for Haryana during the Ranji Trophy last season. During this time he took three wickets at an average of 92.33. As far as Kent are concerned, they are currently ninth in the Division 1 table and in danger of relegation.

Agarkar explained the reason for not including Chahal in the World Cup squad
Meanwhile, after Chahal was dropped from the ODI World Cup squad, BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar said his name was discussed during the selection meeting. It was difficult to include two wrist spinners in the team. Agarkar said, “Chahal was discussed, but for balance we have to look at every aspect. Kuldeep has been really good, Akshar has done well, but two wrist spinners were difficult to fit, so Chahal had to be dropped.
