Reply to Gujarat Titans?

He revealed that not only Hardik Pandya but also Mohammed Shami were approached by the franchise, but Shami decided to stay with Titans while Hardik Pandya moved to Mumbai Indians.

“Every franchise has the right to go for top players. The wrong part is that if an IPL franchise directly approaches a player. The method is wrong and the GT team management is not happy with the approach. The BCCI’s rule regarding player trade-odds, how the expression of interest cane be made to BCCI and then they will inform us. Then the franchise decides. This IPL team approached our coaching staff which is wrong. If they wanted the transfer, they could have talked to us upfront. We got to know about the approach later on.” told GT COO Colonel Arvinder Singh to News18
