West Indies all-rounder Sherfane Rutherford has participated in the IPL and also plays in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

Following a match, the 26-year-old was blamed for the loss by the team owner, who sent him a message. Sherfane has now spoken out about the incident, expressing his dissatisfaction and emphasizing the importance of respecting a player.

Rutherford made these allegations on the owner of CPL franchise

Rutherford has spoken out following a controversy after a CPL 2024 match. His team, St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots, lost to the Barbados Royals. Following this, the management asked him to leave the team, and the owner blamed him for the defeat through a message. In an interview with Cricbuzz, Sherfan expressed, 'It's important to respect the player because I did what I was supposed to do. I didn't lose on purpose. After the match against Barbados, the owner messaged me saying the team lost because of me. I told him it's not the right time to send such a message to a player.'

Team owner does not know cricket

Rutherford also remarked on the owner of the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots team, noting that he lacks knowledge about cricket. The 26-year-old Rutherford stated, we are professional players as well. We have feelings and emotions. When we don't perform well, it impacts us. The team owner hasn't played this game and doesn't have cricket knowledge. So how can he judge what is good or bad? This is all seen in cricket. In the end, our decisions can move us forward, so I think he has made an error.

Sherfane Rutherford will be seen in IPL 2025

Sherfane's performance in CPL 2024 was underwhelming, as he scored only 35 runs in four matches. He is set to compete in IPL 2025, after being acquired by Gujarat for Rs 2.60 crore at the auction. In IPL 2024, he was part of the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Virat Kohli : got this player removed from Team India...

Robin Uthappa, a member of the 2007 T20 World Cup winning team, has revealed significant information about Virat Kohli. Uthappa claimed that Virat intentionally excluded a player from the team, who was a strong candidate for the ODI World Cup.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli : is regarded as one of India's most successful captains. Although the Indian team did not secure any ICC trophies under his leadership, their dominance was evident in all three formats. In early 2022, he stepped down entirely from the captaincy of Team India. However, years later, 2007 T20 World Cup winner Robin Uthappa revealed significant information about Virat Kohli. According to Uthappa, Virat had a dislike for a particular player, which led to the player's exclusion from the 2019 ODI World Cup squad.

Robin Uthappa's big allegation on Virat

Robin Uthappa's recent statement has attracted a lot of attention. He alleged that Virat Kohli was responsible for the end of Yuvraj Singh's career. Now, Uthappa has made a surprising comment about the relationship between Virat and former Team India player Ambati Rayudu. Uthappa claims that Virat didn't like Rayudu, which resulted in his exclusion from the 2019 World Cup team. It's notable that Ambati Rayudu was a strong contender for the 2019 World Cup. However, when the team was announced, his name was absent from the squad. Instead, Vijay Shankar was selected to go to England, which was an unexpected decision.

In an interview with Lallantop, Robin Uthappa stated, "If Virat Kohli disliked someone, that individual would be excluded from the team. Ambati Rayudu serves as a prime example. While everyone has their preferences, you can't close the doors on a player after achieving a certain status. Rayudu had his World Cup outfit, kit bag, everything prepared at home. Naturally, a player would assume he is going to participate in the World Cup. However, the opportunity was then taken from him. In my view, this was unfair."

International career of Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu began his international career in 2013 and played his final match for Team India in 2019. During this period, Rayudu participated in 55 ODIs and 6 T20 matches for India. In ODIs, he amassed 1694 runs with an average of 47.05, including 10 half-centuries and 3 centuries. In T20s, he scored 42 runs. Rayudu retired from all formats of Indian cricket in May 2023.
