Earlier this year, Chand retired from Indian cricket due to lack of opportunities. He released an official statement as well regarding the same. The former U-19 skipper then revealed his move to play cricket in the major league of USA.

“I don’t know how I should be feeling cause honestly, I am still figuring it out,” he wrote in a heartfelt post on Twitter. “The very thought of not being able to represent my country again literally stops my heartbeat for a while. Personally, there have been quite a few glorious moments in my cricketing journey in India. Winning the U-19 World cup for India is one of the biggest moments of my life. It was a special feeling to lift the cup as a captain and bring smiles to so many Indians across the world. I can never forget that feeling,” read one of Chand’s statements.
