Goa, Sept. 30 -- India fast bowler Umesh Yadav will represent Punjab as a guest player in the upcoming domestic season, adding experience and pace to the state side's bowling attack.

The 38-year-old pacer has parted ways with Vidarbha, where he had spent the last several seasons, and will now turn out for Punjab. The move comes as Yadav looks to get regular game time across formats in domestic cricket.
