Washington Sundar: Hampshire sign India all-rounder for two matches

Hampshire have signed India all-rounder Washington Sundar for their final two County Championship matches against Somerset and Surrey.

The 25-year-old played a key role in India’s Test series draw with England this summer, taking seven wickets.

He scored 284 runs at an average of 47, scoring his first Test century in the fourth match between the sides at Old Trafford.

Sundar last played English domestic cricket in 2022 for Lancashire in the County Championship and One Day Cup.

Hampshire’s director of cricket Giles White said: “We’re delighted to bring Washington to the club for the County Championship.

“He had an excellent series against England this summer and he’ll play a key role with two big games coming up against Somerset and Surrey.”
