India's Pujara to join Derbyshire

LONDON:-  India batsman Cheteshwar Pujara is set to join Derbyshire for the final three County Championship fixtures of the season. The 26-year-old struggled in the ensuing 3-1 defeat by England in a five-Test series, where he made 222 runs at an average of 22.20 with a top score of 55. However, Pujara has a career Test average of just under 50 and he said: "I'm keen to play as much cricket as possible in England this year and I'm looking forward to joining up with Derbyshire at the beginning of September."–Reuters
