Baroda cricketer Deepak Hooda has been banned from the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) all season. The decision was taken on Thursday (21 January) by the Board of Governors under opposition from several members.

Hooda angered BCA when he left the team on the night of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament after a fight with Captain Krunal Pandya.

“The summit council decided that Hooda should not be seen as representing Baroda’s team for this season.

The decision was made after reviewing reports from team managers and coaches about the incident and communications with Hooda,” said Satyajit Gaekwad.
Chairman of the BCA Press and Advertising Committee.

Hooda cannot participate in the current Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament or any upcoming national competitions during this season. “Huda can play for Baroda again in the 2021-22 season,” Gaekwad told TOI.

BCA Secretary General Parag Patel said: “Huda did the wrong thing by leaving the team without discussing his leadership issues. But a one-season ban was unnecessary.
He could have been reprimanded for his actions and then.” allowed to play. ”

Huda, who was appointed deputy captain of Baroda for the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 race that season, abruptly left the team and left the hotel after a verbal argument with Pandia on January 9. Huda then sent an email to BCA management accusing Panda of harassing him during a training session.
