Indian Batter With Ranji Average Of 94 Leaves For MLC In USA
Follow UsThe batter who has scored 1804 runs in three seasons of the Ranji Trophy with an average of 94.94, will not be able to play in Indian domestic cricket
Major League Cricket (MLC), the USA's top-tier franchise league, attracted Agni Chopra, one of the best batters in Indian domestic cricket. MI New York drafted him in a domestic draft at 50,000 USD on February 20 (Thursday).
This now means that Chopra, who has scored 1804 runs in three seasons of the Ranji Trophy with an average of 94.94, will not be able to play in Indian domestic cricket.
The 26-year-old, son of renowned filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and film critic Anupama Chopra, was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and is thereby a natural citizen of the USA. That is why it did not take him time to naturalise.
In India, he might have faced a problem because, according to Cricbuzz, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering putting in place a policy that would ban overseas passport holders from participating in Indian domestic cricket.
In its five years of existence, the MLC has been one of the most interesting and followed leagues in the world. It might help Chopra finally realise his dream of playing international cricket.
