The Andhra Pradesh Cricket Association released a statement after Hanuma Vihari’s allegations
Recently former captain of the Andhra Pradesh Cricket Team, Hanuman Vihari made the allegation that his resignation from the captaincy was prompted by political pressure after a dispute with another player whose father is a politician. In his Instagram post, he explained the story and decided to never play for Andhra.
Now, The Andhra Pradesh Cricket Association released a statement in response to Hanuma Vihari’s allegation, denying the claim and stating that “In January 2024, following the first Ranji Trophy game an email from the Chairman of the Senior Selection Committee proposed a new captain due to Vihari’s status as an Indian prospect affecting his season-long availability. Vihari, in response, expressed appreciation for the decision, leading to Ricky Bhui being announced as the new captain by the Senior Selection Committee.”
“Complaints were received from teammates, support staff, and ACA administrators about Vihari’s use of foul language and abusive behavior.”
“Previously, during the Mushtaq Ali tournament, the Andhra team manager lodged complaints about internal groupism.”
Their Statement also stated “Since Joining Andhra from Hyderabad, Vihari has frequently sought a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to move to other states after receiving offers. On occasions, he swiftly reversed this decision, apologizing for expressing frustration and expressing a desire to continue playing for Andhra. Considering his experience, which will ultimately benefit the Andhra Cricket Team, We have accepted his request to continue”
