Murali Vijay has been left out of the remainder of the Vijay Hazare Trophy by Tamil Nadu after his no show against Mumbai on Thursday. The India opener is believed to have missed out on the game after reporting \u201cshoulder pain\u201d but he didn\u2019t keep the association authorities in the loop on the development. The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) made it clear that the state body, the selection committee and the team physio were unaware of Vijay\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n
As per a TNCA official, ESPNCricinfo report, Vijay didn\u2019t turn up at the SSN College ground, and the first word from his side only arrived to the coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar at about 7.30 AM with play to start an hour and half later. Tamil Nadu were already affected by an injury to opener Abhinav Mukund who had suffered a hamstring injury. Ganga Sridhar Raju was eventually brought in as an opener alongside Kaushik Gandhi.<\/p>\n
Vijay played two matches earlier in the Vijay Hazare Trophy scoring 11 and 51 against Gujarat and Goa respectively. His place for the remainder of the tournament has been given to batsman Pradosh Ranjan.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can we find a replacement at the last minute?\u201d another TNCA official is quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo. \u201cVijay didn\u2019t report to the ground and neither did he inform the selectors about his injury. It was very disappointing to say the least.\u201d<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t the first that the TNCA have been unhappy with Vijay\u2019s \u201cattitude\u201d. \u201cThis isn\u2019t the first time something like this has happened,\u201d a top TNCA official said. \u201cThe selectors weren\u2019t even inclined towards picking him in the four-day squads [for the Ranji Trophy] in the first place because of issues with his attitude and general aloofness.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, no disciplinary proceedings have begun against the opener. \u201cAt the moment it\u2019s only the decision of the selectors to not pick him,\u201d he said. \u201cIn the future, once national players confirm their availability for a tournament they have to play the full competition. They can\u2019t pick and choose matches. This issue might come up for discussion at the Executive Committee meeting of the TNCA.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
