County Championship: 'Excited' Hanuma Vihari to play for Warwickshire in early stages of new season

Firstpost  

London: India batsman Hanuma Vihari said Thursday he was “really excited” to have joined Warwickshire for the early stages of the English County Championship season. The 27-year-old will provide cover for Pieter Malan at Edgbaston as the South African continues to wait for confirmation of a visa. Vihari, who has scored over 7,000 first-class runs at an average of 56.75 and also bowls off-spin, said in a club statement: “I’m looking forward to this opportunity and to play for a big club like Warwickshire is really exciting.” Warwickshire director of cricket Paul Farbrace said of Vihari: “He’s a high-quality batsman, and an effective off-spinner, who has been part of two India Test series victories in Australia. “But he also comes to Warwickshire with an outstanding record in the first-class game and our young batsmen are going to learn a huge amount from playing and training with someone of Hanuma’s calibre.” India are due to play five Tests in England in August and September and a successful stint with Midlands club Warwickshire coul help Vihari, who won the last of his 12 caps against Australia in Sydney in January, gain selection for the tour.
