“We are delighted to have Ashwin coming back for what could be a key part of the season.

“He is one of the best spinners in world cricket and the influence he had here last season cannot be underestimated.

“The lads all speak so highly of him, the impact he had on the field and the way he slotted in so well off the pitch and he was willing to offer advice to our young spinners like Ben Twohig,” he added.

Head coach Kevin Sharp echoed Rawnsley’s sentiments and said: “Ashwin is world class and he loved it at Worcestershire.

“Conversations have been ongoing about him coming back and I’m sure he will be a great fillip for us. He had a massive input for us on and off the field last summer in helping us gain promotion and he is a high class individual.”

I think ashwin is gunning for the world cup spot and by spending more time in england he would have a better chance to convince the selectors if his performances are noteworthy.  I am not counting out ashwin yet.

Will Pujara return to Yorkshire. Yorkshire's own Darcy short.

Media is hyping him up that he and Vijay are the key and how Cheteshwar Short can grind the opposition down and take the shine of the red ball :giggle:.

Pujara did very well in One day

But he failed in the longer formats you can’t deny that and he has been exposed overseas good for home conditions useless overseas.

This will make Ash a better cricketer, every year he should have a county stint. After his last stint he thoroughly outbowled Maharaj in SA, a feat not even Herath or Lyon could come close to achieving. Good to see him put in the hard yards, appreciate his quest to improve. Wish to see more players in county, it will work wonders for guys like Rahul, Pant, Bumrah, Kuldeep etc.

For that they need to skip the Ipl.

No need, they don't have to have a full stint. Play a few matches every year post IPL in county circuits, that will work. As such normally, apart from English/WI tours we don't play cricket during this time of the year.

Last time we were in Lanka during this time  or we end up touring Bangladesh.

Time for this loser to prove he's worthy of polishing Bhajji's jooti. I predict another dire series for him.

Bhajji himself was a flop overseas to be honest.

At least he doesn't chuck unlike your beloved Bhajji, nor does he fake injury to escape greentops and phaintas.
