Hyderabad: Former Indian cricket team captain Mohammad Azharuddin has been disqualified from contesting the Hyderabad Cricket Academy (HCA) elections on grounds of violation of terms.
Azharuddin’s disqualification was based on the decision made by a committee headed by Justice Lau Nageshwar Rao, constituted by the Supreme Court for handling HCA’s affairs. The committee was formed after reports of brewing differences surfaced between the former cricket captain and its working members.
