Keshav Maharaj: Leicestershire sign South Africa spinner

Leicestershire have signed South Africa left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj for the first four months of the 2026 season.

Maharaj, 35, has taken 313 wickets in 152 matches for the Proteas and is the second overseas player the Foxes have signed for their return to Division One.

“Alongside his exceptional cricketing abilities, he will bring vast international experience, leadership skills, and a huge passion for the game,” said Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson.

“All of [that] will be fundamental to our changing room.”
