Get set for a new-look Tamil Nadu team this domestic season. A month ago, 13 ICL cricketers were sitting at home with nothing to do and wondering when they would return to playing competitive sport. Having returned to the official fold, all are performing with a vengeance in the competitive Chennai league. Anand Vasu of the Hindustan Times caught up with a few of them.
“I had mixed feelings about how I would be welcomed back,” India cricketer Hemang Badani said. “But I knew that the only thing to do was to score runs. In the last year I have hardly played the longer version, so to bat six hours after being on the field for one-and-a-half days was tiring.”
