Venkatesh Iyer to play county cricket
Indian allrounder Venkatesh Iyer, following a fruitful outing with KKR at the IPL 2024, is now gearing up to play for Lancashire County Cricket Club for a short stint. Iyer played a greater role in KKR’s title win at IPL 2024. His upcoming County cricket stint promises to further hone his abilities in different conditions, adding more elevation to his already impressive game.
"I am incredibly excited to head over to England and to have the opportunity to play county cricket for the first time in my career. Lancashire is a very historic county with a long history of welcoming Indian players to their club. I am looking forward to emulating the likes of Farokh Engineer, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman and most recently, Washington Sundar in wearing the Red Rose colours at Emirates Old Trafford,” Iyer said in a statement.
"To test my skills in both one-day and first-class cricket in English conditions is going to really benefit my game. I hope that I can entertain the fans and help my Lancashire teammates to achieve their targets in both formats this summer."
Lancashire's Director of Cricket Mark Chilton said Iyer's experience will add more depth.
"Venkatesh will add experience to a young side during the One-Day Cup, whilst providing an explosive batting option in the middle-order and another seam bowler that we can turn to with the ball,” Lancashire's Director of Cricket Mark Chilton said.
