Dear HCL community,
Comeback confirmed
The Hand Cricket League formally confirms that Ayush has returned to active league competition for Season 3. His retirement was announced before Season 2, which he did not contest, but HCL management has now accepted and registered his return.
The earlier retirement notice remains part of the official Season 2 archive. This announcement supersedes it only for Ayush's playing status from Season 3 onward.
A new chapter with The Royal Strikers
Ayush joins The Royal Strikers alongside captain Maddy, P. Harish, and Saran Teja. He returns as an active squad member and is eligible for selection throughout the Season 3 league and knockout stages.
His move to TRS begins a new chapter after representing MSK during Season 1. All earlier confirmed performances remain attached to his career record, while new scorecards will be recorded under TRS.
League status and records
Ayush is restored to the active HCL player register with immediate effect. His Season 3 appearances, runs, averages, centuries, and HCL rating points will follow the same confirmed-score policy applied to every player.
HCL welcomes Ayush back and recognises the commitment required to return to competition. The league wishes him and TRS a positive Season 3 campaign.
Ayush is officially back. His Season 3 return is approved, registered, and recognised across all HCL records from this notice onward.
