Says he is eager to do well

Robin Uthappa will continue to represent Saurashtra during the upcoming domestic cricket season.

The 32-year-old had recently expressed an interest in returning to Karnataka, for whom he played for nearly 15 years before moving up north.

His inclusion in the KPL, where he led Bengaluru Blasters to the final, was seen as a step in that direction.

Little choice

But with the State selectors providing him with no assurance, and at the same time looking to build a team for the future, Uthappa had little choice.

“I spoke to them and they said they will get back to me. But there was no communication,” he said.

“I have no issues with the administrators but in the end, it was up to the selectors. I wished to play in front of our crowd but now it’s time to move on.

“I am preparing well for the season and am eager to do well for Saurashtra,” Uthappa said.
