Indian cricketer Hanuma Vihari has once again dashed Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association’s (MPCA) hopes of acquiring him for the upcoming domestic season. Vihari informed head coach Chandrakant Pandit of his decision this morning, leaving the MP camp in a state of disappointment.
Second-Time backout leaves MP frustrated
This is the second consecutive year that Hanuma Vihari has pulled out of a move to MP at the last minute. He had initially approached Pandit after a public dispute with the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) officials during the 2023-24 season.
Vihari had even tweeted about receiving a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to facilitate the move, but the tweet and the NOC itself are now mysteriously missing.
Communication breakdown ft Hanuma Vihari
Coach Pandit expressed his frustration over the situation. He revealed attempts to reach Hanuma Vihari for several days, culminating in a phone call yesterday where Vihari promised an update.
However, this morning brought the news of Vihari’s withdrawal. MP officials, who were reportedly considering Vihari for a leadership role, are understandably upset by this last-minute change of heart.
Hanuma Vihari silence fuels speculation
Hanuma Vihari has remained silent throughout this ordeal, refusing to comment on the developments or respond to media inquiries. The reasons behind his decision remain unclear.
Some sources told News18 that recent political developments in Andhra may have influenced Vihari’s choice.
If, as some suggest, Vihari has deleted his NOC, it could signal his intention to stay with Andhra.
