Delhi wicketkeeper batsman Anuj Rawat He had a bad experience when he missed the team’s preparation camp for the upcoming Ranji Trophy match to attend the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Gujarat Titans’ (GT) training camp in Surat. Rawat was bought by GT for Rs 3 million in the IPL 2025 mega auction last year after being released by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). GT’s official statement mentioned Rawat’s name among the players who participated in the Nets session.
“Gujarat Titans held a training camp in Surat and started preparations for IPL 2025. Players like Anuj Rawat Ishant Sharma, Jayant Yadav, Kumar Kushagra, Mahipal Lomroll and Arshad Khan “He participated in the camp along with his coaches and support staff,” the team said in a statement.
Rawat’s participation in the IPL camp just a week before the start of the red-ball season shows that Rawat’s prioritization comes at a time when the BCCI leadership has been adamant that players should prioritize red-ball cricket during the season. It clearly shows where it is.
It must be mentioned here that veteran bowler Ishant Sharma has already informed the DDCA that he will no longer play red-ball cricket as he is in contention to return to the national team.
DDCA secretary era Ashok SharmaAsked whether he had sought permission for the player in question to attend the pre-season conditioning camp of his IPL team, he replied in the negative.
“We are not aware of Anuj missing the ongoing Ranji Trophy camp to join the IPL team’s camp. Ideally, he should get permission from the state association. There are two matches left and the camp is being held in Kotla. I don’t know who gave him permission to miss the Ranji Trophy camp,” Sharma told PTI.
“Ishant’s case is different. Since he will not be playing in the Ranji Trophy, he does not need permission from the DDCA.”Usually, if the IPL pre-season conditioning camp coincides with the state team’s camp, before participating in the IPL net session It turns out that permission must be obtained from either the president or the secretary.
“While we have received several official email requests from certain players seeking permission to participate in their respective IPL camps, we can confirm that we have not received any written request from Anuj Rawat. He should not have been a part of the ‘camp’,” said a senior DDCA official in charge of cricket operations, on condition of anonymity.
