Chahal will play three four-day games for them.

Should he be a requirement for the India team, Chahal will join the national squad immediately,&#8221; said a source in the BCCI.<br \/>Chahal has only played 2 ODIs in 2023 and has picked up 3 wickets. The 33-year-old has taken 121 wickets in 72 ODIs @27.13, and 96 scalps in 80 T20Is @25.09. Speaking to TOI, Chahal hoped it won&#8217;t be too long before he would be back in the Indian team. &#8220;Naturally, it is very disappointing to miss out any selection for India. As a cricketer we must accept that some things don&#8217;t always go our way. I must continue to try my best and hopefully my performances will justify selection again for India,&#8221; Chahal told this paper.<br \/>Chahal was grateful to the CEO of Zestige Private Healthcare, Brindon Bagirathan, who is well-connected in the cricket world as he helped Chahal secure the county opportunity, &#8220;Rahul Dravid Sir speaks so highly of his time in County cricket. I really wanted to play (in County cricket). I cannot explain how grateful I am of my good friend Brindon who helped me in such short notice,&#8221; said the leggie.<br \/><span class=\"strong\">WPL 2 likely to be in home and away format in Feb-March<\/span><br \/>The second edition of the Women&#8217;s Premier League (WPL) is likely to be played in a home and away format in February-March next year. The WPL&#8217;s inaugural edition was held from March 4-26 in Mumbai at two venues-the Brabourne Stadium and the DY Patil Stadium.<br \/>In April, the BCCI secretary Jay Shah had told reporters that the Board was considering switching the WPL to a home-and-away format in the Diwali window. However, with all the Aussie and other top players of the world busy with the Women&#8217;s Big Bash League around that time, it&#8217;s near impossible to hold the WPL in that window. <br \/><span class=\"strong\">Gaffaney, Illingworth to stand for India-Pak tie<\/span><br \/>Australia&#8217;s Chris Gaffaney and England&#8217;s Richard Illingworth will be the on-field umpires for the big-ticket India versus Pakistan Asia Cup Super 4 clash at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on September 10, while ex-Australia opener David Boon will be the match referee for the game.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ?
