“Ambati Rayadu had approached us before the start of the IPL and expressed his desire to play for us,” a senior Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
“Baroda has decided to rope him in as he has expressed his willingness to play for the team. The team is already looking for Deepak Hooda’s replacement,” a BCA official said. Hooda has moved to Rajasthan, after a spat with Baroda captain Krunal Pandya last year.
“We then put up the matter before the Apex Council and the Apex Council is open for the move,” the official added. However, the official maintained that things will be worked out. The 36-year-old right-handed batter in his career has played for Baroda for four seasons.
Rayudu, who represented the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL, was recently in news when he had deleted his “retirement” tweet after intervention by the CSK management.
