Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will join Nottinghamshire for the second half of the County Championship season. Ashwin's Nottinghamshire stint will be his second in county cricket after featuring in four matches for Worcestershire in 2017.

The off-spinning all-rounder, who will take over as overseas player from James Pattinson at the end of June, is expected to feature in six of the final seven red ball matches, said the club in a media release.
