HYDERABAD: After organising the 40th Rajiv Gandhi Under-19 cricket tournament, former MP V. Hanumantha Rao, chairman of the Cricket Federation of India,  announced that he would be organising another T-20 tournament under the name ‘Bharat Jodo’.

Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Rao who on the concluding day of the tournament invited AICC (incharge) Manikrao Thakre, PCC chief A. Revanth Reddy, CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and other leaders said that for discovering young talent particularly from poor background another tournament will be organised in March.
