However, Vihari had slammed during the 2023-24 Ranji season about political interference costing him his captaincy and that &#8220;he would never play for Andhra again&#8221; as well.</p><p>Notably, on March 25, the ACA had sent a notice to Vihari over email, calling for an explanation of his comments as well. In his response, seen by ESPNcricinfo, Vihari shared he had &#8220;put out the facts&#8221; about the &#8220;unfair&#8221; treatment towards him.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hanuma Vihari opened up on the &#8220;unfair&#8221; treatment towards him</h3><p>&#8220;I want to move out and play for another team. I&#8217;ve asked ACA for a no-objection certificate. I&#8217;m awaiting a response,&#8221; Vihari told ESPNcricinfo.</p><p>However, on Thursday afternoon, PTI reported that the ACA has served the notice, roughly a month after the veteran batter raised objections at the way he was ousted as Andhra captain and that he hadn&#8217;t responded as well.</p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/zaheer-khan-shares-ms-dhonis-plans-after-ipl-2024">Zaheer Khan shares MS Dhoni’s plans after IPL 2024</a></strong></p><p>&#8220;Yes, we have served him a show-cause notice and we are awaiting his reply,&#8221; an ACA official told PTI on condition of anonymity. &#8220;This is just to find what made him react the way he did last month. He has not reached out to us, so this is a chance for him to come out with his grievances. After all, we value Vihari and his contributions to the growth of state cricket as he has played a big part in Andhra going up in the ranks in domestic cricket.&#8221;</p><p>On February 26, Hanuma Vihari said he would &#8220;never play for Andhra&#8221; again, claiming the treatment he had received at the hands of the ACA during the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy was humiliating for him. He shared not long after Andhra had lost their quarter-final against Madhya Pradesh by just four runs as well.</p><p>In an Instagram post, Hanuma Vihari alleged that he was forced to step down from the leadership role following Andhra&#8217;s opening-round game against Bengal in January. At the time, he had said &#8220;personal reasons&#8221; for the decision, but later on Saturday revealed that the truth was that the association had taken &#8220;action&#8221; against him because of political interference as well.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hanuma Vihari was a key player for India in the longer format</h3><p>&#8220;I was captain in the first game against Bengal, and during the game, I shouted at 17th player, and he complained to his dad (who is a politician),&#8221; Vihari wrote. &#8220;His dad in return asked the association to take action against me. Although we chased 410 against last year&#8217;s finalists Bengal [for a first-innings lead], I was asked to resign from captaincy without any fault of mine.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I never said anything on a personal note to the player, but the association thought the player was more important than the guy who gave his body on the line last year and batted left-handed, took Andhra to the knockouts five times in the last seven years and played for India in 16 Tests,&#8221; he again added.</p><p>The ACA issued a statement later on the same day, saying, &#8220;It has come to our attention that Mr Vihari personally verbally abused a specific player during the Bengal Ranji game in front of everyone. The affected player filed an official complaint with the ACA.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
