Robin Uthappa Urges BCCI to Allow Indian Participation in Overseas T20 Leagues

Robin Uthappa has aligned with Suresh Raina's opinion and urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to allow the non-contracted players to participate in foreign Twenty20 leagues. Robin Uthappa, during a BBC podcast 'The Doosra', said that it hurts when the board bars them for participating in overseas tournaments. "Please let us go, honest to god please let us go. Because sometimes, you've played for so long at a certain level and then when you have to comeback and play first-class cricket, it takes a little time to get used to it," Uthappa said.

"It does hurt when we are not allowed to go and play other leagues in the world."

Uthappa further said that playing first-class cricket can be mentally frustrating and one needs to find ways to motivate themselves to play again at this level.

"It would be so nice if we could go and play at least a couple of others because as a student of the game you want to learn and grow as much as you can," Uthappa added.
