Punjab sign Umesh Yadav as guest player to chase first Ranji title since 1992
The Punjab Cricket Association has signed veteran pacer Umesh Yadav as a guest player for the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season. The 38-year-old will bolster Punjab's pace attack as key bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar are expected to be on national duty. Punjab are hoping Yadav's red-ball experience will help them end a 34-year wait for a Ranji Trophy title, their last coming in 1992. This marks the first time Punjab have brought in a guest player of Yadav's profile for the domestic tournament.
