The Telangana Cricket Association has publicly questioned the Hyderabad Cricket Association’s policy of automatically selecting players for the Senior Super League, seeking clarification on the criteria.
The Telangana Cricket Association (TCA) has lodged a formal objection to the Hyderabad Cricket Association’s (HCA) practice of automatically selecting players for the Senior Super League, a premier state‑level tournament.
TCA argues that the automatic selection mandate bypasses merit‑based assessment and could limit opportunities for emerging cricketers, urging HCA to revisit the policy and ensure transparent criteria.
HCA has not issued a response as of now, and the issue is slated for discussion in the forthcoming meetings of the state’s cricket governing bodies.
The controversy emerges ahead of the upcoming Senior Super League season, with clubs and players awaiting finalized team rosters.
