Kartik set for Surrey debut...he will be a match winner

Team Director Chris Adams has named a thirteen man squad for Surrey’s three Clydesdale Bank 40 games over the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.
Surrey’s three Group B games come inside four days beginning with a trip to the SWALEC Stadium on Saturday to take on the Welsh Dragons. They then return to the Kia Oval on Sunday to play the Hampshire Royals and on Tuesday the Scottish Saltires are the visitors to the Kia Oval to complete the three game run.
Murali Kartik comes straight into the squad having arrived this week to join up with Surrey as the overseas professional until the end of the season. Zafar Ansari is unavailable for the three games due to commitments at Cambridge University.
Chris Adams commented: “We are delighted to welcome Murali Kartik to the club. He is a proven match winner in all forms of the game and we are really looking forward to having him available for us until the end of the season. He will bring an extra dimension to our squad and his experience will be invaluable in the dressing room.
“This run of three games in four days is a critical period in our CB40 campaign. If we can win all three then we will have put ourselves in a very strong position in Group B. That is our aim and we are confident because we have already played some excellent cricket in the competition this season which has seen us win our three opening games.  We are looking forward to the challenge of the next few days”.
