On Tuesday, Surrey Cricket Club announced that 22-year-old Indian batsman Sai Sudharsan will return to England to participate in ongoing matches of the County Championship.
Sudharsan had joined Surrey last season and played two County Championship games, contributing 116 runs, which included a half-century, aiding the team in securing its 22nd title.
Having had a successful IPL 2024 season, Sudharsan emerged as the highest run-scorer for Gujarat Titans, amassing 527 runs in 12 matches, featuring a century and two half-centuries.
The cricketer from Chennai made his ODI debut against South Africa last year, accumulating 127 runs across three matches, with two half-centuries to his name.
In his First-Class career thus far, Sudharsan has accumulated a total of 1,118 runs from 29 innings.
“I’m so excited to represent Surrey again. I loved my time with the group last year and want to do my best to help the club achieve more success,” Sudharsan said in a statement.
“The Kia Oval is an incredible place to play cricket, and I can’t wait to get back out there wearing the Three Feathers.”
Surrey’s Director of Men’s Cricket, Alec Stewart, added, “We saw how good a player Sai is last year, and we’re pleased to welcome him back into the group, where he fitted in perfectly.”
Surrey currently leads the South Division table. Sudharsan is set to make his season debut against Essex at home this coming Sunday.
