Shubman Gill set to play for Glamorgan for remainder of 2022 County Championship season

Good Move from him to work his batting in English Conditions.

If all goes to plan, Gill will be the seventh India player to be signed by a county team this season, after Cheteshwar Pujara (Sussex), Washington Sundar (Lancashire), Krunal Pandya, Mohammed Siraj (both Warwickshire), Umesh Yadav (Middlesex) and Navdeep Saini (Kent). He will be the third Indian to feature for Glamorgan in County Championship after Ravi Shastri (1987-91) and Sourav Ganguly (2005).

 

The top-order batter is coming off a superb run in the ODI series against West Indies and Zimbabwe, where he scored 205 runs at 102.50 average and 245 runs at 122.50 average respectively. Gill has experience of playing 11 Test matches in which he has scored 579 runs at an average of 30.47. His last red-ball game was the fifth Test against England in Birmingham in July this year where he made scores of 17 and 4 in India's defeat.

 

Glamorgan are currently third in the Division Two table with five wins in 10 matches. They still have four more matches left and will resume the season against Worcestershire on September 5 in Cardiff.

 

None of the three overseas players they have used in the Championship will be available in September, with Colin Ingram at the CPL and Marnus Labuschagne and Michael Neser back in Australia. The club previously announced that Ajaz Patel will play the final month of the season for them.

Very good move. One of the main reasons pakistan has performed well in england in last 10 years ( have won around 4 tests if i m not wrong.. thats all they have in last 15 yrs in SENA) is because of their players playing county regularly. I think in off seasons everybody should go and play county. Ganguly Dravid Laxman Sehwag all did it.. i would love to see guys like Sarfraz prithvi shaw as well. Playing county not only makes you well prepared for English conditions but also kiwi conditions..

Even for Zaheer Khan it was what saved his career in 2006, he was going into lean patch and once he came back from county he never looked back.

Sarfaraz can't play county unless he plays for India. They don't pick uncapped players.
