In an unprecedented decision taken to tackle the brazen conflict of interest in Hyderabad cricket, all existing executive committee members of 57 clubs affiliated to the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) were on Monday, 31 July, barred from either voting or contesting in the upcoming HCA election.

The elections are due, but the dates haven’t been announced so far. The one-man committee appointed by the Supreme Court in February to run the affairs of the messy HCA and clear the path for elections will now appoint a returning officer who will decide on the election dates.

In a damning 46-page report, retired Supreme Court judge L Nageswara Rao has come down heavily on the individuals and families who own or administer multiple clubs, giving rise to rampant conflict of interest.
