Overview

• Chahar has been added to Surrey’s squad for the final County Championship fixture against Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl starting September 24.
• The call-up follows injuries to Will Jacks and Cam Steel, with earlier option R. Sai Kishore still unavailable after finger surgery.
• Surrey trail Nottinghamshire by 14 points and need a victory while hoping Nottinghamshire collect fewer than 11 points against Warwickshire to keep title hopes alive.
• Alec Stewart said Chahar’s inclusion gives Surrey an extra spin option for conditions in Southampton.
• The match could see Chahar face compatriot Washington Sundar, who played the previous round for Hampshire and returned 1-107 alongside useful runs.
