Amaravati: The controversy revolving around Indian cricketer Hanuma Vihari’s departure from the Andhra Pradesh Ranji Cricket team has reached new heights, with Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu accusing the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) of succumbing to alleged vindictive politics orchestrated by the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP). Vihari’s announcement on Monday, declaring his decision to cease representing Andhra Pradesh in domestic cricket due to alleged mistreatment by the ACA, has stirred both criticism and support.
He tweeted as” It’s a shame that even the Andhra Cricket Association has succumbed to YSRCP’s vindictive politics. @Hanumavihari, a brilliant Indian international cricketer, has been targeted to the point where he has vowed to never play for Andhra Pradesh. Hanuma, stay strong – your integrity and commitment to the game speak volumes. These unjust actions don’t reflect the true spirit of Andhra Pradesh or our people. We stand with you, and we’ll ensure justice prevails. #WeStandWithHanuma.”
