In recent times, we have seen many players quit Indian cricket and explore opportunities elsewhere. The United States of America has been the favourite destination for these players. Some of the popular names who did that include the likes of Unmkut Chand and Bipul Sharma. However, the reverse has also been happening. Some players have left international cricket to come play in India. Of course, this is only for players with an Indian passport. With this move, these players earned a chance to play in the IPL as a domestic cricketer. On that note, here, we take a look at three players who recently left international cricket to play Indian domestic cricket.
