Hyderabad Cricket Association has resolved to promote cricket in a big way in the districts across Telangana by forming Cricket Development Committees. This was one of the major decisions taken at the AGM held here on Sunday and attended by former BCCI president N. Shivlal Yadav, former India captain and ex-HCA president Mohd Azharuddin, former Indian star Arshad Ayub, former Ministers V. Hanumanth Rao, G. Vinod among others.
“The AGM went off peacefully without any fuss and I am glad that all the members including former office-bearers and ex-internationals have given invaluable inputs for giving a new direction to the HCA,” said A. Jagan Mohan Rao, making a special mention to HCA Secretary R. Devaraj.
“It is also decided at the AGM to build a mini-stadium in every district of the State besides setting up a cricket excellence academy of international standards with a boarding facility for 250 people at Uppal Stadium,” he said. “In this, a separate academy for women with 100 students will also be allocated. It was also decided to set up four satellite academies within the GHMC radius too,” the HCA chief said.
