Hyderabad: The Telangana Cricket Association (TCA), formed over fifteen years ago, has been consistently fighting legal battles for recognition. Its efforts were vindicated when the Supreme Court of India directed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to consider granting it Associate Membership, as provided in the BCCI Constitution. The precedent for such recognition already exists — states like Maharashtra and Gujarat have three associations each affiliated with the apex cricket body.
At its recently held Governing Council meeting, the TCA appointed Smt. D.K. Aruna a long time associate of TCA and former Women’s Committee Chairperson in TCA, one of the most powerful voices for women in Telangana, as the Chairperson of the Governing Council.
