Indian left arm spinner Manav Suthar who was spectacular in his Test debut against Afghanistan has been picked up by Warwickshire for the next two rounds of County Championship.
He won the player of the match against Afghanistan in his debut Test which has brought him under the spotlight. Manav Suthar will be available to feature in Warwickshire’s fixture against Yorkshire in Scarborough from June 12, and then the following game versus Somerset in Taunton in the following week.
Speaking about this signing Warwickshire’s Performance Director James Thomas said. “We’re delighted to welcome Manav to the Bears, at a really exciting time for the team. We’ve played some good red-ball cricket already this season, and Manav will bring a new aspect to our bowling attack,” he added. James Thomas also noted that he is rated highly in India and that is why they wanted to get him in. He said “It shows how highly he’s rated in India after his selection to their Test team last week, so it’s going to be great to have him around the group.” He added.
After getting picked, speaking about the opportunity, Manav Suthar said: “I’m incredibly excited to be joining Warwickshire for the next two County Championship games. The team have started the season very well, so I’m hoping that I can play a part in helping them in their push for the title.”
Warwickshire are currently fourth on the Division One points table, with two wins and two draws in six fixtures and they will be hoping Suthar can help them notch up a few wins in the coming matches. Manav Suthar has a very good record in First class cricket where he has picked up 129 wickets in 29 First Class Matches. He can also be handy with the bat lower down the order.
