Yogesh Golwalkar to turn out for Middlesex

INDORE: : Middlesex signed Madhya Pradesh leg spinner Yogesh Golwalkar to replace Stuart Clark after the Aussie was called in as a cover for Glenn McGrath in Ricky Ponting's side for the fifth and final Test against England.

The leg spinner will play his first match against Kent, according to a Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association release here. Yogesh was playing for Bolton in the Lancashire League until his call up this week.

An elated Yogesh was quoted in the club website saying, ``I am delighted to be here playing for Middlesex. This will be my first time playing at Lord's and it's a great feeling.'' He also exuded confidence of doing well in the match against Kent.

``I'm really looking forward to it,'' the 25-year-old player added.

Middlesex chief coach John Emburey said, ``We've signed Yogesh to replace Stuart Clark and Scott Styris who will both miss this round of the Frizzell County Championship.'' — UNI
