Spin bowler Virdi leaves Surrey

Amar Virdi played 40 first-class games for Surrey

Off-spinner Amar Virdi has left Surrey after 15 years at the club.

The 26-year-old played 40 first-class games for the county after making his debut in 2017.

His last first-class appearance for Surrey was in 2021 and he spent time on loan at Somerset in 2022 and Worcestershire this year.

Virdi took 39 wickets in the 2018 season as Surrey won the County Championship.

"Having been a part of the club since I was 11 years old, I will look back on my time at Surrey with great fondness and I have some incredible memories of playing for the club," he told Surrey's website.

"Winning the 2018 County Championship was a personal highlight and it was incredible to be part of the team that brought success back to the club after many years.

"Having had a tough couple of years at Surrey with selection and pitches, I still believe I have a huge amount to offer the game as shown in my recent loan stint at Worcestershire and I'm looking forward to whatever the next step is in my playing career."
