By Bibhu Ray

(The Quiver) : After emulating the figures of his fellow countryman Washington Sundar, the Karnataka bowler is tasting the success in alien conditions of England. He picked up his five-wicket haul while playing against Warwickshire.

Chris Benjamin, Dan Mousley, Michael Burgess, Henry Brookes and Craig Miles were all his wickets in the 1st innings.
Saini has committed to Kent for five Royal One Day Cup games and three County Championship games. As a result, he joined the famous Rahul Dravid as the second Indian cricketer to play for Kent.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to add a fast bowler of Navdeep’s quality to our roster in a year when it’s been difficult to take wickets,” Kent Director of Cricket Paul Downton said.
The 29-year-old Saini has participated for several teams in the Indian Premier League and has represented India in all three formats (IPL).
