X-factor signing

“Madhav Tiwari might be a relatively unknown name in Indian cricket now, but in the years to come, the 21-year-old is expected to rise up higher and higher.
Madhav produced some terrific performances with the ball at the U19 level for Madhya Pradesh and is a very capable batter as well. Madhav Tiwari could be one of our X-factor signings in this edition and we’re eager to see what he can contribute to the side.”
