Virender Sehwag has quit Delhi to move to Haryana for the forthcoming domestic season. Sehwag confirmed in a text message to ESPNcricinfo that he had acquired a no-objection certificate from the Delhi & District Cricket Association.
"He has applied for an NOC. Considering he is a very senior player and has got a better offer for personal reasons, we will respect his desire to move on," DDCA vice-president Chetan Chauhan told ESPNcricinfo. "We seriously admire his achievements and appreciated his contribution to Delhi and Indian cricket."
Sehwag's switch doesn't come as a surprise. In fact, his departure from his home team was anticipated this season. Even in 2009, he had threatened to walk out, alleging nepotism and corruption in Delhi cricket.
