The Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) announced that it will appoint a sub-committee to understand and address the concerns of the Telangana Cricket Association (TCA). HCA’s Apex Council, in a press release on Thursday, said that a seven-member team will be formed in compliance with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) order dated July 11, 2021.

This comes after the Bombay High Court directed the BCCI to resolve the issues between TCA and HCA earlier this week. “We do not understand the role of the BCCI in all this. You passed an order in July 2021 and today we are in March 2025, yet no decision is taken. Why can’t you ensure that your order is duly complied with? You have to be conscious about your order and ensure it is taken to its logical end. You can make them sit across the table and resolve the dispute, ” a division bench of justices had remarked.

Four years ago, BCCI denied TCA’s request to become an associate member of the national cricket body. Instead, it directed the HCA to collaborate with the TCA to ensure the growth of cricket in Telangana didn’t get affected. However, no action was taken to follow the BCCI’s directive.
