Highlights

• Ravichandran Ashwin would likely be playing for Worcestershire

• Pujara will last to represent Nottinghamshire for whom he has been playing as the start of the season

India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, that has been rested for the forthcoming limited-overs series against Sri Lanka, will create his own county cricket debut for Worcestershire this season.

Before, it had been reported that Worcestershire had voiced their desire to avail Ashwin’s services towards the conclusion of their season.

However, the India off-spinner is predicted to be available as early as his county side struggle against Gloucestershire beginning August 28.

Besides Ashwin, India fast bowler Ishant Sharma and premier Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara may even feature on the English circuit this past season, ESPNcricinfo reported.

While Ishant will perform for Warwickshire, Pujara will still continue to represent Nottinghamshire for whom he has been playing since the onset of the season.

Ashwin and his team-mate Pujara may also face each other if Worcestershire lock horns using table-toppers Nottinghamshire beginning September 5.

Meanwhile, the left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja continues to be in discussions to play county cricket, but the group he will play for is not yet been decided.

It needs to be mentioned that none of those four players are a part of Indian squad for the five-match ODI show and lone T20I game against Sri Lanka, beginning August 20 in Dambulla.
