Ajinkya Rahane substituiu Wiaan Mulder, que deverá estar nos planos da África do Sul para a turnê multiformato do Proteas pelo Caribe durante o mês de agosto.
Ousted from team India, former skipper Ajinkya Rahane will play for Leicestershire County Cricket Club in the upcoming One-Day Cup. Ajinkya Rahane was due to link up with Leicestershire last summer before international commitments altered his availability.
“I’m really excited to have another opportunity to come to Leicestershire. I’ve built a strong rapport with Claude (Henderson) and Alfonso (Thomas), and I’m looking forward to playing for the Club this summer. I followed the team’s results last year and was very impressed with what I saw. I’m hoping to enjoy my cricket and contribute to more success for the Club this season,” said Ajinkya Rahane on joining the defending champs of the One-Day Cup.
Ajinkya Rahane replaces Wiaan Mulder
The 36-year-old has replaced Wiaan Mulder, who is expected to be in South Africa’s plans for the Proteas’ multi-format tour of the Caribbean throughout August.
Speaking about Rahane’s numbers, the right-handed batter has accrued more than 26,000 runs across all formats, recording 51 centuries. Capped on 195 occasions for India since his debut in 2011, Rahane has scored in excess of 8,000 runs in the international arena, bested by a knock of 188 against New Zealand in 2016. Those runs include 5,077 at an average of 38.46 in Test cricket, and 2,962 at 35.26 in One Day Internationals.
