London, Aug 15 (IBNS): Indian spinner R Ashwin will play for English county side Worcestershire for the climax of their Specsavers County Championship promotion-chasing campaign..

"Ashwin, ranked the number three Test bowler in the world and number two all-rounder, will link up with the County as an overseas replacement for the injured John Hastings for the final four games," read the cricket club's website.

This is going to be Ashwin's first appearance in county cricket.

Worcestershire Director Of Cricket Steve Rhodes was quoted as saying by the club website: "Ravi is a fantastic international cricketer who is currently in terrific form with his game. He is ranked in the top three as a bowler in Test cricket, is a wonderful all-rounder who can bat six and scores hundreds in Test cricket."

“It is unlucky for John Hastings with his injury but Ravi is a wonderful cricketer for us to have at a crucial point in our season," he said.

“It is a really important last few games for the club and to have someone of his ilk and class and quality is a huge boost for the Club," he said.
