Gill has been India's regular member in Tests and so far has featured in 11 games in the longest format of the game. Playing in the county championship will only add to his experience and will be significant learning for him.
The Punjab batter of late has been in the red hot form. He featured in the ODI series against West Indies and Zimbabwe, winning Player of the Series in both of them. Gill has one hundred and three fifties in his last 6 ODI games.
Shubman Gill has also featured in 12 first-class matches for his home team Punjab in the Ranji Trophy where he has scored 1176 runs at an average of 65.33.
Gill will be joining the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara (Sussex), Mohammed Siraj (Warwickshire), Navdeep Saini (Kent), and Umesh Yadav (Middlesex), who are currently playing in England. He will become the third Indian after Ravi Shastri (1987) and Sourav Ganguly (2005) to play for Glamorgan.
Notably, Glamorgan is currently at the third position in the Division Two table with five wins in 10 matches. They still have four more matches left and will resume the season against Worcestershire on September 5 in Cardiff.
