County Championship 2022 | Warwickshire rope in Mohammed Siraj for the remaining season

Mohammed Siraj will play for Warwickshire over the remainder of the 2022 County Championship season, the Engish County side confirmed in a statement on Thursday. The Indian fast bowler, with the recent development, is set to become the sixth player from his country to be signed by a county team this season, after Cheteshwar Pujara (Sussex), Washington Sundar (Lancashire), Krunal Pandya (Warwickshire for Royal London Cup), Umesh Yadav (Middlesex), and Navdeep Saini (Kent).

"Edgbaston is world-class stadium and the atmosphere it created this year for the Test was special. I'm really looking forward to making it my home in September and hopefully helping the Bears end the season well. I would like to extend my gratitude to both Warwickshire County Cricket Club and BCCI for this opportunity."

With just one win from their 11 games thus far, Warwickshire are currently third from the bottom on the Division One points table. After their match against Somerset, they will go up against Gloucestershire and Hampshire with the aim to avoid relegation to Division Two. Siraj, meanwhile, will be available for all three matches.

"Siraj is a fantastic addition to the squad and we can't wait to welcome him to Warwickshire. He is one of the best fast bowlers in the world right now and his knowledge and experience will help bring an added dimension to our line-up," Paul Farbrace, Warwickshire's director of cricket said in a statement.
