David Warner Is Involved In Match-Fixing- TRS MLA
Danam Nagende feels that there are many irregularities in the team selection of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Players from Hyderabad are not given chances in IPL and only Mohammed Siraj from the state has been able to play from India in recent times. He also threatened to protest if SRH doesn’t give chances to Hyderabad players who are performing exceedingly well in domestic cricket.
“We will protest against IPL from being conducted in Hyderabad if players from here are not selected. In Hyderabad city there are many deserving players, in previous selections many irregularities took place and we are condemning it. There are players from here who played for Ranji trophy, under 19. There are many deserving players who can play for IPL from here, but only Mohammed Siraj has so far made it”, Nagender told reporters days after the conclusion of the IPL 2021 player auction.
“Hyderabad has got a good name and not taking players from here is condemnable. We feel sad and also condemn Warner being captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad who is involved in match-fixing. If Hyderabad doesn’t have representation (if players from here are not selected) then we will protest against IPL from being conducted in Hyderabad Rajiv Gandhi Stadium”, said Nagender.
