Rayudu back with HCA

Friday, April 28, 2006 (Hyderabad):
Ambati Rayudu has come back home a much-chastened man.
The middle-order batsman moved to the Andhra Ranji team last year after a spat with the powers-that-be at the Hyderabad Cricket Association.
The Hyderabadi is now back where he originally belonged letting bygones be bygones.
“I am very happy I have come back. As they say it is better late than never. I hope to start the season fresh just like I started playing for Hyderabad Ranji Trophy four years back,” said Rayudu.
Rayudu did not exactly do too well with the Andhra team. His exclusion from the South Zone side was perhaps the last straw.
The Hyderabad Association will give Rayudu one more chance and hopes the mercurial cricketer will realise that his relations with his teammates is as important as his cricketing talent.
“Basically one has to gel with the team. I am sure with little bit of maturity and little bit of counseling, he can work on that,” said Shivlal Yadav, Secretary, Hyderabad Cricket Association.
But the HCA too cannot afford to take the moral high ground. The Hyderabad Ranji side did very badly this season and would do well to include an in-form Rayudu.
