Bhubaneswar: Former Hong Kong skipper Anshuman Rath will represent Odisha in the forthcoming 2021-22 season of India’s domestic cricket season.
Odisha-born Rath turned eligible to play for his home state after he completed a mandatory year-long cooling-off period. He is now eligible to play as a local player under the BCCI.
The 23-year-old batsman has so far played 18 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 20 T20 Internationals for Hong Kong. Rath moved to Hong Kong along with his parents at the age of 14.
“I had served a year’s cooling-off period, played club cricket in Nagpur and hoped to be picked for Vidarbha. But when things didn’t happen, I had to look for a new opportunity, and that is when Odisha happened,” Rath was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
“I can speak Odia, I was born in Bhubaneswar, so in many ways this was a logical next step for me,” Rath felt.
