HCA apex council unlikely to make any big decision at August 13 meeting

The Hindu  

The Hyderabad Cricket Association’s apex council will meet at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium on August 13, but is unlikely to make any critical decision regarding the resumption of cricketing activity as HCA president Mohammad Azharuddin is said to not be really keen on initiating any measures in haste. READ | Normally, by this time of the year, the HCA leagues – said to feature the highest number of matches by any state association in the country – would have commenced, and even the senior zonals would have been halfway through before the state teams for the all-India invitational tournaments were selected based on performances in these events. Though the Board of Control for Cricket in India has issued a standard operating procedure for all the state cricket associations to resume action, what is holding back the top brass of the HCA is the time-consuming process of ensuring a foolproof “bio-bubble” to avoid any major embarrassment such as a player or staff member testing positive for COVID-19. Vijayanand also said that the recently appointed district development officers will resume work after the lockdown even as the HCA remains very cautious about resuming cricketing activity.
