April county

Karun Nair: Northamptonshire has secured the return of Indian batter Karun Nair. Having gone unsold in the IPL auction, Nair will don the Northants jersey for seven County Championship fixtures in April and May, marking a continuation of his successful stint with the club during the final three matches of the previous season.

Nair's impact in his brief tenure with Northants last year was significant, with scores of 78, 150, and 21 in his three innings.

John Sadler, the head coach of Northants, expressed his delight at securing Nair's services, stating that the Indian batsman was their "main target" for the 2024 season. Sadler praised Nair not only for his impressive run-scoring ability but also for his calmness, temperament, and hunger for runs.
