Left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed became the sixth Indian cricketer to play the County Championship 2025 season. Earlier, Shardul Thakur, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan, and Yuzvendra Chahal represented other County sides in England's First-Class tournament. The format will provide a different challenge for them with seam conditions and longer spells for bowlers. Spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar will represent Hampshire for the final two matches in the County Championship for his side.

Leg spinner Rahul Chahar joined Surrey for their season-ending fixture against Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl this week. Going into the final, Surrey trails Nottinghamshire by 14 points. As a result, they need a win in their final game and hope Nottinghamshire gets fewer than 11 points in their own final game.
