London: Warwickshire County Cricket Club on Wednesday announced the signing of India pacer Mohammed Siraj for the final three matches of the County Championship season.

Siraj will arrive at Edgbaston ahead of the Bears home fixture against Somerset on September 12.

On joining Warwickshire, Siraj said: “I can’t wait to join up with the Bears squad. I have always enjoyed playing in England with India and I’m excited to experience County Cricket. Edgbaston is world class stadium and the atmosphere it created this year for the Test was special. I’m really looking forward to making it my home in September and hopefully helping the Bears end the season well." (UNI)
