English county team, Derbyshire are planning to have Indian batsman, Cheteshwar Pujara back for the 2015 season after he had a good spell with the county team during the season end, this year.

He played for the English county side after he lost the Test series to England with India earlier this year. Although, he failed to perform in the first game, he performed brilliantly, scoring an unbeaten 90 and 100 in the final two fixtures of the County Championship, reports cricket365.

"We’ve spoken to Pujara already and he seemed quite keen to come back. He integrated into the team brilliantly and I think he enjoyed the lads here. He wants to test himself in English conditions, so this is probably the best place for him," said Graeme Welch, performance director of Derbyshire.

Speaking on the issues with the dates of the IPL and the Indian season that could clash with England’s domestic schedule, he said, "It’s still up in the air at the moment. We’ll have to look at their schedule and try and get somebody in for those three months that he isn’t here. There could be a lot of Australians hanging around because they might want to be in the country ahead of the Ashes tour."

"We just got to keep our ear to the ground and go from there. We’ll have to see where we are with the budget in terms of possibly signing a second overseas for T20. We of course want to improve our performances in that format and this could be one option," he added.
