Umesh Yadav Leaves Vidarbha, Seeks New Team for Upcoming Domestic Season
Veteran Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav has decided to leave the Vidarbha cricket team after obtaining a no-objection certificate (NOC) to represent another state in the upcoming domestic season. At 38, Yadav sought more regular playing opportunities, as Vidarbha selectors had not provided clarity on his future. He has played 141 matches for India and last appeared in the 2023 World Test Championship final. Yadav is currently in talks with other state associations to continue his domestic career.
