Some members of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) are not in favour of former India captain and the association’s president Mohammad Azharuddin representing the HCA in today’s BCCI Special General Body meeting. They prefer Shivlal Yadav, who has spent 17 years as an administrator in various capacities. Azhar, it is learnt, flew to New Delhi to speak to BCCI secretary Jay Shah as well as senior cabinet ministers about the turmoil in the HCA.

“I provided the BCCI top brass details of all our activities. I hope they will allow me to attend the [virtual] meeting,” Azhar told mid-day on Friday.
