It has never been easy for Indian players to secure their place in Team India. Despite hard work, some players could not achieve the position they deserved. Something similar was seen with former batsman Unmukt Chand. After being constantly ignored by the Indian team, he started playing for the American team to save his career. At the same time, now another player has decided to join a foreign team.

The player we are talking about is none other than 33-year-old Shardul Thakur. The right-arm bowler has not been getting a place in Team India for a long time. He played his last match for India in December 2023. Since then, the Indian selectors have been constantly ignoring him. He was also not selected for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He also had to remain unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction. After this, now Shardul Thakur has decided to play in the County Champions to be held in England.
The first match will be played on this day
Shardul Thakur will be seen playing for the Essex team in the County Championship starting in April. He will play his first match of the season against Surrey in Chelmsford on 4 April. Announcing this on Tuesday, the club said that he will be available for seven division one matches in county cricket for Essex. Recently, he caught everyone’s attention by performing brilliantly with both bat and ball in domestic cricket. Meanwhile, he managed to take a hat-trick against Meghalaya in the Rani Trophy. While in a match against Jammu and Kashmir, 51 runs and 119 runs came from his bat.
