Fifteen cricketers from Andhra Pradesh penned a letter endorsing Hanuma Vihari to continue as their team’s leader amidst a controversy. Vihari, who shared the letter on social media, had earlier revealed that he was compelled to relinquish the captaincy due to a complaint from a teammate, who happens to be the offspring of a politician. In the letter addressed to the Secretary of the Andhra Cricket Association, the players expressed their support for Vihari and clarified that they harbor no objections to him leading the team. The gesture signifies a show of solidarity from the players towards Vihari, indicating their desire for him to continue guiding the team despite the recent upheaval. The support from his teammates could potentially alleviate some of the pressure Vihari might have been experiencing following the controversy surrounding his captaincy. By publicly endorsing Vihari’s leadership, the players aim to convey their unity and trust in his ability to lead the team effectively, emphasizing the importance of stability and harmony within the Andhra cricket setup.
