New Delhi: Unhappy with the DDCA, Indian hard-hitting batsman Virender Sehwag has said that he will opt out Delhi and play for Haryana in the domestic tournament.
Sources said Sehwag was unhappy with the rampant corruption in the DDCA and in the selection process of the Delhi team.
"I am trying to leave Delhi and play for Haryana. I spoke to the Delhi District and Cricket Association (DDCA) president, Mr. Arun Jaitley, and he has asked me to discuss the issue with him and then take a decision. If I am not satisfied with the outcome of our meeting, I will surely leave Delhi," Sehwag was quoted in a private news channel.
"There is too much interference and manipulation from the sports committee in selection committees. The sports committee has got too much power. There is more interference at the under-16 and under-19 levels than the Ranji Trophy. In a squad of 15, for instance, the sports committee tries to influence the selectors and slip in one or two of 'their own' boys," added the hard-hitting batsman.
Sehwag has already applied for a No-Objection Certificate to move to another state team and will meet with DDCA (Delhi and District Cricket Association) president Arun Jaitely soon.
"So, if I am not satisfied with the result of the meeting with Mr Jaitley, I will leave whether or not DDCA gives me the no objection certificate (NOC). There is a rule that if a player's parent association harasses a player and doesn't give him the NOC, the Board of Control for Cricket in India can do so," Sehwag told the news channel.
