On Saturday Ambati Rayudu bashed at the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) for the corruption in practices and appealed. He appealed to Telangana’s Minister for Industry and Municipal Administration KT Rama Rao to look into the matter as well. The former India batsman alleged corruption in the HCA after the day of taking a break for a few weeks from playing first-class cricket for Hyderabad again.

“Hello sir @KTRTRS, I request u to plz look into nd address the rampant corruption prevailing in hca. Hw can hyderabad be great when it’s cricket team is influenced by money and corrupt people who have numerous ACB (Anti-Corruption Bureau) cases against them which are being swept under the carpet,” Rayudu tweeted.

Ambati Rayudu made a U-turn on his retirement from all forms of cricket to play for Hyderabad in domestic cricket a couple of months back. Rayudu was leading Hyderabad in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy earlier and said there was a lot of politics going on in the team that made him feel very “uncomfortable” and thus he chose to opt-out of the team.

“In all honesty, I was looking forward to play for Hyderabad in Ranji Trophy this season. But unfortunately, the script did not go on the expected lines. There is a lot of politics in the team and the atmosphere was not conducive for good cricket. I felt very uncomfortable,” Rayudu said in an interview to Telangana Today later.

Rayudu had announced his retirement midway through the ICC World Cup 2019 but thought to return later in August.
