Overview

  • The India all-rounder will play Hampshire’s Division One fixtures against Somerset on September 15–18 and Surrey on September 24–27.
  • He remains on standby for India’s Asia Cup squad and has not traveled to the United Arab Emirates with the main team.
  • Hampshire announced the move after an independent Cricket Discipline Panel docked the club eight points for a below‑average pitch, increasing relegation risk.
  • Director of cricket Giles White said Sundar is expected to play a key role over the closing rounds following his strong summer in England.
  • Fresh off 284 runs and seven wickets in the England Tests, Sundar returns to county cricket for the first time since his 2022 stint with Lancashire.
