RR pacer Brijesh Sharma set to make his first-class debut for J&K this domestic season
In an exciting development for Jammu and Kashmir cricket, fast bowler Brijesh Sharma is set to make his first-class debut, following a noteworthy IPL-2026 performance for Rajasthan Royals. As the team gears up for its inaugural Irani Cup clash, Puneet Bisht has been brought on as the fielding coach, while the search for a new bowling coach continues.
Fast bowler Brijesh Sharma, who made an impressive debut for Rajasthan Royals in IPL-2026, is set to make his first-class debut for Jammu and Kashmir in the 2026-27 domestic season. The 27-year-old pacer, who took 14 wickets in 13 matches at an economy rate of 9.89 for RR this season, played for the Jammu & Kashmir Under-19 and Under-22 teams before moving to Delhi to train under coach Deepak Punia.
Sharma's impressive performances for Smashers Malda in the 2025 Bengal Pro T20 League, where he claimed 11 wickets in seven matches, led to his purchase by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 30 lakhs.
