Hanuma Vihari to leave Andhra again
“I have been thinking about a switch. Tripura has been asking me for some time,” Vihari said. Meanwhile, Tripura has confirmed that he will be most likely be the captain of the side too, across formats. “We have recommended to the association a few names to sign as professionals. I cannot disclose the names but I know we are signing Vihari,” Tapan Lodh, a former president of the association said.
In the last few years, Hanuma Vihari has had a topsy-turvy journey in domestic cricket, where he moved to Andhra in 2016-17 season from Hyderabad, only to go back after two seasons. Then last year, a controversy hit him, when he was removed from captaincy, following political power.
