Delhi cricketers, Nitish Rana and Dhruv Shorey have decided to leave their domestic side and look to play for other teams. The former has been dropped from the red-ball setup and Shorey is finding it tough to make it to the white-ball teams. It is understood that Rana didn't like the fact that he was removed as white-ball captain by one-season-old Yash Dhull.
Also, the former is understood to have issues with teammates, especially Hrithik Shokeen. During the IPL 2023, they had a fight during the Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders game. Meanwhile, Shorey and Rana leaving the team have been confirmed by DDCA joint secretary Rajan Manchanda on August 11.
"Yes, it is true that both Dhruv and Nitish want to leave Delhi and have sought NOC. We will definitely request them to stay as both are senior players and have served Delhi cricket. But the final decision will be theirs. If they don't agree, we will certainly give them NOC," Manchanda told PTI.
Nitish Rana is peeved because he was removed from captaincy: Sources
The sources close to the development have said that Rana wasn't happy being removed from captaincy. On the other hand, Shorey is annoyed as the selector has 'limited' him to a red-ball specialist.
"Nitish is peeved because he was dropped from the red ball team and removed from captaincy. Dhruv is annoyed as selectors dubbed him as a red ball specialist last season. Hence they want to move. May be president Rohan Jaitley will have a word with them but DDCA didn't even stop Virender Sehwag from leaving the state," a DDCA director told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Notably, U19 World Cup 2022 winning skipper Yash Dhull has been on the selection radar of the national selection committee.
"Yash has been called for a camp in NCA along with Navdeep Saini. He will not play in the Buchi Babu Trophy. We are looking at Himmat as a potential leader. He is someone who never runs away from challenges," a senior DDCA official privy to developments said.

शिखर धवन बस खेलने का इच्छुक है। कप्तान कौन है और बाकी 10 खिलाड़ी कौन, उसे कोई मोह नहीं।
