Badani to lead Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy |
Chennai, Nov 1:
Tamil Nadu will go into
the coming season with south-paw Hemang Badani,
who has been in and out of the Indian squad, as
the new captain for the Ranji Trophy Cricket
Championship.
The State selection committee, which announced a
15-member squad for Tamil Nadu's first match
against Hyderabad in Elite Group-B to be played
here from November seven, replaced incumbent S
Suresh as skipper. However, he has been retained
in the team.
Suresh, earlier took over the mantle from all
rounder Robin Singh in a surprise move by the
then state selection committee, two seasons ago.
However, it was touch and go for Tamil Nadu who
failed to win the Ranji Trophy in 2002 losing to
Mumbai from a strong position, while in the last
season they were beaten in the semi-finals.
Tamil Nadu Squad: Hemang K Badani (Capt),
S Ramesh, S Vidyuth, S Sriram, S Badrinath, S
Sharath, Vikram Kumar, R Ramkumar, S Suresh, M R
Srinivas, R Raghuram, K Shri Vasudevadas, C
Hemant Kumar, C Ganapathy, R Jesuraj.
