‘HCA enacting summer camps drama in districts,’ says TDCA president Venkateswar Reddy

“The HCA which cannot select cricketers from Telangana districts for HCA teams competing in Ranji Trophy and other domestic tournaments, has opened a new drama in the name of summer training camps in Telangana districts,” he said

Hyderabad: Telangana Districts Cricket Association President A. Venkateswar Reddy said Hyderabad Cricket Association had no moral right to conduct summer coaching camps in the district when it had not entertained any cricketers in the selection process for various categories to represent Hyderabad.

“The HCA which cannot select cricketers from Telangana districts for HCA teams competing in Ranji Trophy and other domestic tournaments, has opened a new drama in the name of summer training camps in Telangana districts,” he said.

“Telangana rural cricket has been subjected to immense injustice for the last 90 years. The HCA has limited itself to cricket activities only in the twin cities. In the wake of the increasing demand for a separate cricket association for the development of cricket in Telangana districts, the HCA is organising summer training camps to overcome the obstacles of both BCCI and the courts,” Mr. Reddy explained.

“Telangana rural cricketers do not need a month-long summer training camp. They should be represented in the state team to compete in domestic tournaments to prove their potential and ability,” he said.
