Keshav Maharaj rejoins Yorkshire for Specsavers County Championship

South African left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj will rejoin Yorkshire for the next two pivotal Specsavers County Championship fixtures.

The 29-year-old will be available for all T20 and four-day cricket until the conclusion of the Club’s Specsavers County Championship, which is due on Friday, September 13.

‘When I first arrived, I felt very welcomed by all the club officials and my fellow team-mates,’ He told the club’s official website.

‘I managed to settle in really well on the cricketing front and I’m just glad that the opportunity has been afforded to me to be able to come back for the two four-day games and maybe a few T20s as well.

‘I’ve always wanted to play T20 cricket around the world, as regularly as I can and as often as I can. It’s my first T20 gig outside of South Africa so I’m really looking forward to it. Hopefully, I can have an impact and that the team can get through to finals day.

‘I would love to make this a regular feature with Yorkshire cricket. Being a pro cricketer, I’d love to ply my trade all over the world. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Yorkshire so it will be a pleasure to come back as much as possible.’
