Vadodara: All-rounder Deepak Hooda has left Baroda and will play for Rajasthan from the upcoming domestic cricket season.Hooda had complained to the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) about Pandya’s behaviour. But the association blamed him for leaking the email to the media. The BCA banned Hooda for the rest of the domestic season. The association had even reached out to Punjab Kings, Hooda’s franchise in the IPL and threatened to complain to the Indian cricket board.
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who has captained Baroda, wasn’t a bit pleased by the development.
After making debut for Baroda in 2013, Hooda featured in 46 first-class matches, scoring 2,908 runs at an average of 42.76 and took 20 wickets. In 68 List-A matches, Hooda made 2,059 runs at an average of 38.84 and scalped 34 wickets. He also featured in 55 T20s for Baroda, making 1093 runs at an average of 19.87 and taking eight wickets with his off-spin.
