While we are optimistic about Hooda’s return, we are not sure as Rajasthan opened their doors to him when the all-rounder needed a team. We are trying our best, but we will have to wait for the final call from Hooda and Rajasthan.”
Shishir Hattangadi added: “Baroda is a small team, and having a man of Yusuf Pathan’s stature will benefit the talent. Our players don’t lack potential; they need a change in confidence level and mindset, and Yusuf would be a perfect fit for the role.”
