The left-armer will play five One-Day Cup matches before returning for three County Championship matches in September. His stint begins with Friday’s 50-over-50 game against Glamorgan.In a club statement, Kuldeep expressed his delight at joining one of England’s most historic county clubs, saying: “I am truly delighted to be joining Yorkshire and grateful for the opportunity. It will be a real privilege to represent a club with a proud Yorkshire history.”He also said he was looking forward to testing himself again in English conditions. “I’ve always enjoyed playing in English conditions and after speaking to the management I was really excited to join the team and look forward to making a positive contribution during my time at Headingley,” he added.The move comes shortly after India’s ODI series in England, where Kuldeep did not feature in any of the three matches despite being part of the squad.Yorkshire believe Kuldeep’s arrival will boost their bowling attack, especially as spin is expected to play a bigger role during the closing stages of the season.General Manager of Cricket Gavin Hamilton said: “Kuldeep is the ultimate international quality player who will add incredible strength to our line-up for these blocks.”He added: “Given the dry summer we’ve had, we expect spin to play an important role during the closing stages of the season. Kuldeep gives us another dimension with his left-arm spin and brings a wealth of experience at the highest level. We’re delighted to welcome him to Yorkshire.”Kuldeep joins a growing list of Indian cricketers playing in county cricket this season, including Yuzvendra Chahal, Jaydev Unadkat, Manav Suthar, R. Sai Kishore and Ashutosh Sharma.
