Mukesh Kumar has signed up with Nottinghamshire for the last two matches of the County Championship. This will be Mukesh's first stint in the English domestic circuit. On Tuesday, September 15, Nottinghamshire plays Sussex in Hove, and on September 24, they play Yorkshire at home. Mukesh said in a statement, "I can't wait to arrive in England and test myself in county cricket." "While I am here, I want to help Nottinghamshire achieve success as much as I can, and I am looking forward to working with the coaches and my new teammates." Coming to England is always a good challenge, and I am excited by the chance to play for a new team in new conditions." Recently, Mukesh participated in the Duleep Trophy. He went 3 for 62 as East Zone beat South Zone in the final thanks to a lead in the first inning. In 60 first-class matches, he has taken 233 wickets, including ten five-wicket hauls and one ten-for. He has played three Tests for India and taken seven wickets in them. Peter Moores, Nottinghamshire's head coach, stated, "We're really excited to get Mukesh over at what is a crucial time of the season." "He just got back from a really tough game in the Duleep Trophy Final, where he was on the winning team and made a big difference in helping East Zone win. Given how difficult it is to compete for a spot on the Indian team, Mukesh's bowling ability is undeniable. We are fortunate to acquire a player who is match-ready and fully competitive ahead of two important games for the club. Nottinghamshire sit on the second spot in the County Championship points table with five wins in six matches helping them to 185 points. Mukesh is the latest India player to play county cricket with Kuldeep Yadav (Yorkshire) and Manav Suthar (Warwickshire) also around. Recently, Auqib Nabi also played a county game for Surrey.
