Overview

  • Ruturaj Gaikwad withdrew from his five-match, multi-format deal with Yorkshire citing undisclosed personal reasons just days before his scheduled County Championship debut on July 22.
  • The 28-year-old India A batter has not featured in competitive cricket since suffering a hairline elbow fracture during the IPL in April.
  • Yorkshire head coach Anthony McGrath confirmed Gaikwad’s sudden unavailability and said the club was “working behind the scenes” to secure a late replacement under tight time constraints.
  • Yorkshire had signed Gaikwad to strengthen its top order across both the County Championship and the upcoming One-Day Cup.
  • The county is in advanced discussions with Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq as a potential substitute for the vacated opening slot.
