TCA alleges fraud in HCA club structure and funds

The Telangana Cricket Association alleged fraud in the Hyderabad Cricket Association’s club structure and funds, accusing HCA of ignoring reform recommendations, financial irregularities, and displaying identical audit reports for two consecutive years

Hyderabad: Telangana Cricket Association (TCA) general secretary Dharam Guruva Reddy said the entire club structure of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) and its funds utilization was fraudulent and non-compliant with the guidelines of the Comptroller & Auditor General of India.

“The HCA has not bothered to take action against the earlier office-bearers and vendors who were involved in financial irregularities and were booked by State Police in four FIRs registered in October 2023,” Guruva Reddy said at a media conference in Khammam.

“The HCA General Body and Apex Council has ignored Justice L Nageswara Rao SMC’s recommendations to reform HCA cricket and has failed to take action against HCA members involved in crimes,” he said.

The TCA official displayed identical, copy-pasted audit reports of the HCA for the years 2022-23 and 2023-24.

He appealed to the district police departments to take action against erring officials of the HCA-affiliated units.
