Harbhajan will join up with the India squad ahead of the tournament, which is held in Sri Lanka and starts on the 18th September.

Harbhajan Singh played 9 matches in the LV= County Championship and Clydesdale Bank 40 competitions, taking 23 wickets for the county.

His best bowling figures for Essex were 5-37, which came against the Netherlands at Castle Park, Colchester.
