The Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) has alleged that the teammates were forced to sign the 'Letter of support' for Hanuma Vihari "under threat", according to India Today. Earlier. Vihari lashed out at the ACA for 'mistreatment' and said that he was asked to resign from captaincy after the first game of the season. He further alleged that his removal came after an altercation with a teammate who was the son of a politician. Vihari shared a copy of his statement on social media along with signatures of his teammates but the ACA has said that the cricketers were forced to sign it by the veteran player.
