Ambati Rayudu to retire from longer version of game

[Ankit_sharma03]

In a surprise development, India player Ambati Rayudu has decided to retire from the longer version of the game, including Ranji Trophy.

In a communication to the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) on Saturday, Rayudu informed that he wanted to focus more on limited-overs cricket and the T-20 format.

"I will continue to play international and domestic matches of the shorter version. And, I take this opportunity to thank the BCCI, HCA, Baroda Cricket Association and also Vidarbha Cricket Association for giving me the opportunities over the years," he said in the letter.

 

"It has always been an honour to play for Hyderabad and I can never forget the kind of support I got from all those here, including my fellow players, coaches and the officials. And especially, the way I was welcomed back into the BCCI fold after the stint in the rebel ICL," he said.

This has come as a huge surprise to the cricketing circles as Rayudu is expected to join Hyderabad for its second match of the season against Tamil Nadu next week, having missed the season opener against Kerala as he was on national duty.

How ironic

[vvvslaxman]

I am retiring from movie industry

[velu]

biriyani is more tempting than tests  

[Nikola]

I am gonna retire from the post of CEO for google.

[Cricketics]

I want to meet this legend one day and thank him for his services to Indian test cricket.

[Nikola]

At least he is not being selfish for tests spot and giving chance to youngsters else selectors might have picked him in test squad soon the way he is performing these days.

[zen]

Biryani is smart. Knows that he has no future in test cric so why waste time on Ranji, etc .... He is in LOI squad and $s are in IPL so makes sense to focus on these 

[Khota]

He is doing the right thing. Tests and crap are dying and this is another  nail in the coffin.

Yes you are right. Test Cricket lost a prodigy today with the retirement of Ambathi Raydud. How will they ever cope with this loss as they try to make test cricket appealing to today’s generation?

test cricket loss and LOI gain. Raydud has made Odi cricket exciting in the middle overs. Kudos to him.

[Suhaan]

50 overs is far  too long

Following in the footsteps of his CSK captain Dhoni. Why toil in the long format of the game when you can mint money playing limited overs? BCCI should stop the practice of players "retiring" from one format while hanging around like leeches for years together in others. Either players make themselves available for selection in all formats or else GTFO.

The guy really got attitude of superstar. He is C grade batsman, so he should stop acting. 

[kosingh]

The other players should have given him a guard of honor in his last test. Wait...
