Yuzvendra Chahal excluded from Vijay Hazare Trophy knockout rounds as Haryana Cricket Association cites team development

Yuzvendra Chahal has been excluded from Haryana's List A team for the knockout rounds of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, continuing his absence from the tournament's group stage. This decision comes amid rumors of his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. The Haryana Cricket Association stated that Chahal's exclusion was a cricketing decision aimed at developing younger players, not related to his personal issues. Parth Vats, a leg-spin all-rounder, has been introduced to the squad. Dhanashree Verma addressed the divorce rumors on social media, criticizing the "baseless writing" and "character assassination" surrounding their situation. She emphasized her commitment to her integrity and the importance of focusing on positivity.
