Indian Test specialist Murali Vijay is all set to represent Somerset for the final three matches in the county championship. He will be replacing Azhar Ali as a top-order batsman for the side.

Vijay hasn”t been a part of the Indian side for some time now. He last played a test during the Australian tour. However, his poor form didn”t allow him to play all the games on the tour.

Vijay represented the Essex side during the last season. He stunned everyone with a spectacular century on his debut. It will be interesting if he could help the Somerset side to come out in flying colors.

An excited Murali Vijay responded to this signing. He said, “I am excited about the challenge of trying to help Somerset push for the County Championship. Somerset have an excellent reputation and I am looking forward to being a part of what they are trying to achieve.

Vijay is expected to join the side ahead of their first encounter against Yorkshire on 10th September. He will be also playing two more games against Hampshire and his old side Essex also.

Furthermore, Vijay”s fine run in TNPL would boost his confidence to perform better in the county arena too. All eyes on him if he could utilize the opportunity to make a test comeback.
