The forgotten Indian spinner shared a special farewell message on his social media account, just a couple of days after Northamptonshire’s final County Championship Division Two match of the season.It is worth noting that Chahal joined the cricket club back in 2024 during the 2024 England domestic season, and has so far played multiple first-class and List A matches for the cricket club across County Championship and England’s One-Day Cup tournaments.Yuzvendra Chahal scripts farewell message for NorthamptonshireChahal’s three-year stint with the Northamptonshire cricket club has come to an end.

You made me feel at home, even when I was miles away from it. Proud to have been a part of this team.”Yuzvendra Chahal record for NorthamptonshireYuzvendra Chahal certainly made the most of his three-year stint with the Northamptonshire cricket club between the years 2024 and 2026. During his time with the club, the cricketer played 12 first class matches for the side, harvesting 52 wickets in the process in just 21 innings at an impressive bowling average of 24.84. The 36-year-old also collected 26 wickets in 14 List A matches in England’s One-Day Cup competition, doing so at an average of 24.30.Notably, Yuzvendra Chahal snapped 21 of those 52 first class wickets in the recently-concluded 2026 County Championship Division Two season itself, at a sensational bowling average of 16.14, the second best among all bowlers with over 20 wickets in the season.Moreover, the cricketer also finished the 2026 One-Day Cup season as its eighth most successful bowler with 15 sticks in just seven innings.When was the last time Yuzvendra Chahal played for IndiaWhile Yuzvendra Chahal may have inked a deal with the Northamptonshire cricket club with the prospects of finding his way back into the national side, his prolific County and One-Day Cup returns still did not yield a Team India return for him. A veteran of 72 ODIs and 80 T20Is for the Indian cricket team, the wily leg-spinner played the last of those matches way back in August 2023 during India’s tour of West Indies. Despite being one of India’s most prolific spin bowlers in overseas white-ball cricket, Chahal’s chances of making a return to the national side now appear increasingly unlikely, with the leg-spinner having remained out of India’s plans for more than three years.Also Read- Sri Lanka vs Nepal Live Streaming, Live Telecast- Where To Watch Asian Games Qtr Final 3 2026?
