The Chennai Super Kings captain had agreed a five-match deal, starting with the game against reigning champions Surrey at Scarborough from July 22.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yorkshire head coach Anthony McGrath said the county are assessing their options regarding a replacement, but there are other things to contend with as well ahead of the 10th round clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cUnfortunately Gaikwad\u2019s not coming now for personal reasons,\u201d said McGrath. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to have him for Scarborough or for the rest of the season. So that\u2019s disappointing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI can\u2019t tell you anything about the reasons why, but we hope that everything\u2019s ok. We\u2019ve literally just found out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re working behind the scenes on what we can do. But it\u2019s only two or three days away, so I\u2019m not sure what we can do at the moment. We\u2019re working to try and get a possible replacement, but time pressure is the issue. I can\u2019t give you anything more than that at the moment,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sharing his excited after signing the deal last month, Gaikwad had said, \u201cI\u2019m excited to be joining up with Yorkshire for the rest of the English domestic season. It has always been a goal of mine to experience cricket in this country and there is no bigger Club in England than Yorkshire.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Maharashtra batter Gaikwad has been sidelined since April 8 after fracturing his elbow while captaining Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 season. Though he recovered in time to earn a spot in the India A squad for the tour of England, he remained on the bench for both fixtures against the England Lions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
