Disgruntled Dhruv Shorey leaves Delhi for Vidarbha, Nitish Rana also asks for NOC to leave state

As far as Rana is concerned, there are rumours about him joining Baroda or Haryana but there has been no confirmation on that front.

There seems to be no end to troubles for Delhi cricket as former skipper Nitish Rana and last year's top run-getter in Ranji Trophy Dhruv Shorey have decided to ply their trade for other states in order to play all three formats in the next domestic season.

A lot of people in DDCA are still unaware that Shorey, a red ball specialist has already signed contract with Vidarbha Cricket Association as a professional which will obviously help him earn over and above his match fee.

"Yes, Dhruv (Shorey) has already signed a contract with us and he along with former Test batter Karun Nair will play for Vidarbha during the upcoming domestic season," a VCA official confirmed the development.

As far as Rana is concerned, there are rumours about him joining Baroda or Haryana but there has been no confirmation on that front.

The development was confirmed by DDCA joint secretary Rajan Manchanda on Friday and it seems that there will be a last ditch attempt to stop Rana.

"Yes, it is true that both Dhruv and Nitish (Rana) want to leave Delhi and have sought NOC. We will definitely request them to stay as both are senior players and have served Delhi cricket. But the final decision will be theirs. If they don't agree, we will certainly give them NOC," Manchanda told PTI.

It is understood that Rana, who was the white ball captain till last year, didn't like him getting replaced by one season-old Yash Dhull and also the fact that he was dropped from the red ball side mid-season only to make comeback during the final game against Mumbai.
