Ambati Rayudu, a seasoned Indian batter, is ready to play for Joburg Super Kings in SA20’s second season. The 37-year-old, who played for the Super Kings team for six years in the Indian Premier League, is notable for maintaining a positive relationship with the organization.
The cricketer had previously stated that he will play for the Texas Super Kings in the Major League Cricket (MLC)’s debut season, but he later had to withdraw due to family obligations. However, it was commonly accepted that BCCI was involved in the choice.
The governing body of Indian cricket has announced that players will need to observe a one-year cooling-off period before participating in other overseas competitions.
It was therefore assumed that this was the cause of Ambati Rayudu withdrawal. The cricketer from Andhra Pradesh, who was born a month later, signed with the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots for the upcoming Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season and is about to join Joburg. In order to complete the process, Rayudu, Faf du Plessis (the captain), and Stephen Fleming (the coach), according to Cricbuzz, are in frequent communication with Kasi Vishwanathan, one of the Super Kings’ representatives.
Mahesh Ramani, the owner of the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots, on the other hand, has expressed his delight at Rayudu joining the team for the 2019 season. He continued by claiming that Rayudu’s expertise will be of great use to the club and that the cricketer can mentor new players and help them win their second league championship.
Ambati Rayudu has been signed as one of our international players for the 2023 season, and I’m happy to notify Patriots supporters of this.
We intend to compete for our second CPL championship in 2023, and Ambati Rayudu enormous experience—he has won several titles with various teams throughout his successful career in India—will surely help our young players grow.
Notably, the start of the 2019 season of the Caribbean Premier League is scheduled for August 16. The first game will feature Saint Lucia Kings vs. Jamaica Tallawahs. On August 19, against Trinbago Knight Riders, St. Kitts and Navis Patriots will play their first game.
