The Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) has suspended senior player Deepak Hooda, who had stormed out of the camp before the start of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, for this domestic season for indiscipline and bringing disrespect to the game.

Hooda had walked out of the team on the eve of domestic T20 tournament after a spat with captain Krunal Pandya. He had alleged misbehaviour on the part of Pandya.

"He [Hooda] has been suspended for this season for indiscipline and bringing disrespect to the BCA and the game. Without informing the team and the BCA, he left the team and the [bio] bubble," BCA secretary Ajit Lele said on Friday.

The decision to suspend Hooda was taken during the Apex Council meeting of the BCA which was held on Thursday evening. Hooda had stormed out of the bio-bubble on January 9. He had alleged misbehaviour on the part of Pandya in an e-mail sent to BCA.
