Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar will join Hampshire for the final two rounds of the Rothesay County Championship.
The Rose and Crown face Somerset at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton from 15-18 September with reigning champions Surrey visiting Utilita Bowl from 24-27 September.
Sundar, 25, was part of India’s Test squad that faced England in a thrilling five-match series this summer.
He scored 284 runs at an average of 47 with a maiden century coming at Old Trafford as India saved the game.
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.
