Manav Suthar, the Indian left-arm spinner who represented Warwickshire in two County Championship games earlier this year, is set to return to play for the club in the last four matches of the season. Suthar has been named in India’s squad for their upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.

In two games earlier this season, Suthar picked up 11 wickets, including a fifer. He now has 147 wickets in 32 first-class matches

New Zealand’s Will Young, who played three matches for the club last season, will also join Warwickshire for the remaining six fixtures of the County Championship. In three games last season for the club, Young averaged 53.

Warwickshire, who won the championship in 2021, are currently placed five points off the top spot in Division One and remain in contention for another title win.

Speaking on the signings, Warwickshire Performance Director, James Thomas, said: “We’re very pleased to welcome both Will and Manav back to the Bears after both players made a real impact when they were last with the Club.

“We’ve played some good red-ball cricket already this season, and both players will now bring additional quality at a crucial time of the campaign where we are in the mix for the title.

“Will adds experience to our batting line-up, especially with Beau Webster’s time at the Club over for the season, while Manav showed earlier this year that he has the ability to change a game with the ball as well as adding crucial runs.”
