Special Correspondent Hyderabad cricket was promised course correction. What it is witnessing instead is prolonged drift—quiet, procedural, and deeply consequential. Governance at the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), far from stabilising under judicial supervision, appears to be slipping further into ambiguity.

This article is relevant and significant in the present-day context of the game, when Hyderabad cricket is sliding downhill—not for lack of talent, but due to nepotism, corruption, and the erosion of merit. “Pay-to-play” has replaced performance. Even court-appointed ombudsmen and supervisory committees—by the Supreme Court and state High Courts—have failed to arrest the decline….

According to a formal complaint lodged by Charminar Cricket Club, Sportive CC allegedly played three guest players,…
Christmas Vandalism and the Modi Government’s Moral Collapse There is something profoundly disturbing—and morally indefensible—about Christians in India being forced to celebrate Christmas under fear. Reports of vandalism in several Indian states, which too governed by the BJP, are simply unacceptable. Organised mobs attacking Christmas trees, tearing them down, disrupting prayer meetings, and indulging in…
Special Correspondent The Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) finds itself embroiled in yet another controversy—this time not merely administrative, but constitutional and judicial in nature. At the centre of the storm is its decision to proceed with the “Kaka Venkata Swamy Memorial Inter-District T20 League” despite a pending legal challenge, explicit objections from the Telangana Cricket…
