He criticized the previous coach, Arjun Yadav for poor performance of the team during last season while citing politics in the team as the reason for his switch. He played for Hyderabad over ten seasons and also represented India in 55 One Day Internationals and 17 T20 Internationals.[1] Left arm spinner Lalith Mohan opted for Andhra this season after he was overlooked by selectors over last few years. He last played for Hyderabad in 2015.[2]
