TCA alleges financial irregularities in HCA; seeks immediate freeze on TG20 League
The TCA official asserted that the situation has now escalated into a serious threat to the integrity of Telangana cricket administration.
Hyderabad: Dharam Guruva Reddy, general secretary of The Telangana Cricket Association (TCA) , expressed grave concern over continuing illegalities and financial irregularities in the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), which is already under CID investigation in Crime No. 02/2025, wherein arrests were made on 09 July 2025.
Mr. Reddy said that despite the High Court’s supervision order dated 20 July 2025 in W.P. No. 21904 of 2025, appointing Hon’ble Justice Sri P. Naveen Rao (Retd.) to supervise HCA functioning, several illegal committees, appointments and financial decisions were allegedly carried out, showing total disregard to judicial supervision and governance norms.
The TCA official asserted that the situation has now escalated into a serious threat to the integrity of Telangana cricket administration.
CA further revealed that a shocking fraud has surfaced involving Oxford Blues Cricket Club, where two societies exist with the same name registered separately in District Registrar Office, Ranga Reddy and District Registrar Office, Hyderabad.
The TCA generalsecretary alleged that this duplicate society identity was allegedly used to manipulate HCA electoral rolls and engineer unconstitutional control. According to TCA, Shri M. Jeevan Reddy, who became a club office bearer only on 06.11.2025, was elevated within four months and was “unanimously elected” as Honorary Secretary of HCA in March 2026, through an unnatural and suspicious process, indicating prima facie forgery, impersonation, fraudulent substitution of club identity, and election rigging.
Mr. Reddy also alleged that immediately thereafter an illegal TG20 Governing Council was constituted, reportedly under Mr. Agam Rao, without AGM approval, in violation of Supreme Court approved BCCI governance norms and BCCI Constitution Rule 28.
“The HCA is now allegedly planning to auction TG20 franchises at ₹3–10 Crores per team, aiming at a turnover exceeding ₹100 Crores, creating irreversible third-party rights and potential diversion of funds,” Mr Reddy said.
The TCA said that it would be submitting a formal complaint seeking immediate CID action including seizure of records and freezing of TG20 accounts, and demanded a CID/CBI-monitored investigation, stating clearly that Telangana cricket cannot be converted into a private cartel auction business.
Mr. Reddy also alleged there is conflict of interest in appointing Ambati Rayudu and Head of Cricket Operations of HCA and against some of the players appointed on different panels of HCA.
“These appointments are against the HCA Constitution,” he said.
