Former India batsman Ambati Rayudu has recently appealed to Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) President Mohammad Azharuddin not to involve in a personal tussle with him and isolate himself from the “seasoned crooks.” In an earlier tweet, he had urged Telangana’s Industry and Municipal Administration Minister K.T. Rama Rao to check all the alleged corruption in the HCA. When asked about this to Azharuddin, he didn’t take it seriously and he was later quoted as saying that Ambati Rayudu was a “frustrated cricketer”.

“Hi @azharflicks let’s not make it personal. da issue is bigger dan us. we both knw wats goin on in hca. u hav a god given opportunity to clean up hyd cricket. i strongly urge u 2 isolate urself from da seasoned crooks. u wil b savin generations of future cricketers. (sic.),” Rayudu tweeted on Sunday.

Rayudu’s earlier tweet had come after a day from when he took a break from playing first class cricket for Hyderabad as well.

“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 had tweeted.

This was his first tweet after his social media outburst after the 2019 World Cup squad selection while all-rounder Vijay Shankar was picked over him and he started posting tweets with criticism as well. Ambati Rayudu had announced his retirement midway through the ICC World Cup last year but later reversed his decision in August and started playing again.

However, the current situation is very critical for not only India but also for the whole world. Coronavirus has affected not only everyone’s lives but also sporting events across the globe which not only included the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League but also many international series where no decision took place as the situation has not changed much in the last few days amid the novel coronavirus pandemic in the country as well as globally.
