2017-18 Ranji Trophy: 5 players who changed sides ahead of the upcoming season

#1 Robin Uthappa (Karnataka to Saurashtra)

Uthappa ends his 15-year association with Karnataka

Ever since making his debut as a 17-year-old, Robin Uthappa played for his home team Karnataka throughout his career. But now, the right-hander has decided to end his 15-year association with the former Champions and has moved to Saurashtra ahead of the new domestic season.

Ever since making his debut as a 17-year-old, Robin Uthappa played for his home team Karnataka throughout his career. The reason for the switch is not yet out but there were reports that Uthappa is leaving the team after he was dropped from the XI ahead of the quarter-finals against Tamil Nadu.

Though the state association did not want him to leave, the seasoned campaigner stood firm and got the NoC. He was also close to joining Kerala before eventually joining Saurashtra.
