New Delhi: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) have resolved their dispute regarding ticket and pass distribution, agreeing to follow the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) guidelines. This follows SRH’s threat to relocate from Hyderabad after alleging harassment by the HCA and accusing them of using blackmail tactics to obtain free passes. The conflict prompted SRH to seek intervention from the BCCI and IPL governing body.
“This issue has been recurring, and I believe it requires immediate attention from the BCCI and the IPL governing body,” he added.
Following the treaty, SRH and HCA issued a collaborative statement.
“In response to various reports circulating in mainstream and digital media regarding issues between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), HCA Secretary Mr. R. Devraj convened a meeting with SRH officials today at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. The meeting was attended by SRH representatives Mr. Kiran, Mr. Saravanan, and Mr. Rohit Suresh.”
“During the discussions, SRH proposed strictly adhering to the existing tri-party agreement between SRH, HCA, and BCCI, ensuring that 10% of the available stadium capacity across all sections is allocated accordingly.”
“HCA, in turn, proposed maintaining the existing allocation of passes in each category, in line with the long-standing practice followed over the years.”
“Following in-depth discussions and further telephonic deliberations with SRH CEO Mr. Shanmugam, the following resolution was agreed upon: The category allocation of 3900 complimentary passes to HCA will remain unchanged, consistent with established practice.”
“HCA has assured SRH that they will fully cooperate with SRH in a professional manner.”
“HCA and SRH remain committed to working together amicably to enhance the spectator experience at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium,” the release said.
