Batter Gorantla signs 'multi-year' Surrey contract
Batter Nikhil Gorantla has signed a "multi-year" full-time contract with Surrey after impressing in the second XI. Gorantla scored a double hundred for Essex's second XI against Yorkshire in 2022 and also hit a century for Northumberland against Durham the following year. "I'm looking forward to getting around the group and learning from the wealth of experienced players and coaches at the club," he told the Surrey website. The 22-year-old will begin training with the Three Feathers' first team this week. Surrey's high performance advisor Alec Stewart added: "Not every journey to a professional contract is seamless. "Nik's a shining example of how hard work and patience can be rewarded. The guidance and coaching he has received from SACA [South Asian Cricket Academy], who help with opportunities for young cricketers, has been exceptionally important."
