Hyderabad: Reacting strongly to the show-cause notice issued to him by the Apex Council, Hyderabad Cricket Association president Mohammed Azharuddin once again reiterated that the meeting was illegal.

“How can they issue a show-cause notice to me when the meeting was itself an illegal one? In fact, the Apex Council members need to give reply to the show-notice issued to them. We need to take drastic steps against these illegal meetings,” he said.
