India captain Virat Kohli has agreed a deal to play for Surrey in June. The 29-year-old batsman is set to feature in both the Royal London One Day Cup and the County Championship next month.

“It’s long been an ambition of mine to play county cricket and I’m thankful to Alec Stewart and Surrey for allowing me the opportunity,” he said.

Kohli will miss India’s one-off Test against Afghanistan to get his first experience of county cricket.
