Shashank Singh Leaves Chhattisgarh, Citing Lack of Support During Injury Recovery
Shashank Singh, a 34-year-old all-rounder, has left Chhattisgarh to join Pondicherry for the 2026-27 domestic cricket season. He alleges the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh did not support him during his recovery from serious shoulder and finger injuries and excluded him from key domestic competitions without explanation. Singh, who recently received the Lala Amarnath Award as India's best white-ball all-rounder, denied claims that he prioritizes IPL over domestic cricket and plans to focus on white-ball formats this season.
