Fans are eagerly waiting for the session to materialize

In a surprising turn of events, seasoned cricketer Hanuma Vihari took to social media today to announce his decision to permanently sever ties with Andhra Cricket. Vihari, a former captain of the Andhra team, expressed his deep disappointment and hurt in a heartfelt Instagram post, stating that he would "never play for Andhra again."

His decision stems from a reported conflict with the Andhra Cricket Association following Andhra's exit from the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals in the ongoing 2023-24 season. Vihari claims that he was pressured to resign from captaincy after the team's opening game due to an incident where he raised his voice towards a teammate, the father of who is a politician.

Vihari's statement details his feelings of humiliation and lack of respect from the association. He expresses his love for the team and his belief in Andhra's potential but claims that the association's actions stifle their growth. This public declaration has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community, raising questions about the internal dynamics within the ACA and the treatment of players.

This situation also highlights the need for a healthy and transparent relationship between players and associations. Mutual respect and open communication are crucial for fostering a positive environment that supports player development and team success. While the specifics of the conflict remain unclear, Vihari's emotional statement serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing player concerns and fostering a culture of respect within cricketing institutions.

Ashwin's offer makes waves!

In the wake of Hanuma Vihari's Andhra exit announcement, Ravichandran Ashwin, his teammate in the historic Sydney Test and a known advocate for player rights, extended a public invitation on Twitter. Ashwin proposed a live session with Vihari, seemingly to offer him a platform to address the controversy surrounding his decision. This gesture has sparked speculation within the cricketing community, with many viewing it as an opportunity for Vihari to shed light on the situation and potentially seek support. Whether Vihari accepts this invitation and whether a live session materializes remains to be seen, but the development has further fanned the flames of public interest surrounding the matter. Later on, Hanuma Vihari took to 'X' (formerly known as Twitter) to accept the proposal set forward by Ravichandran Ashwin.
