The Hyderabad Cricket Association is in a corruption scandal, with eight cases filed against its office-bearers. Five of these cases are still under investigation, while three are set to go to trial. The arrests of A Jagan Mohan Rao, Treasurer CJ Srinivas Rao, and CEO Suneel Kante have further intensified scrutiny.
Allegations of corruption within the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) date back to 2011, when several club officials raised concerns about financial irregularities.
These complaints accused HCA members of misusing funds and engaging in questionable financial dealings. In response, the court forwarded the petitions to the ACB, prompting the Central Investigation Unit (CIU) to file two FIRs that same year.

The first FIR, filed in 2011, accused former officials, including Shivlal Yadav, Arshad Ayub, and others, of inflating construction costs from ₹30.26 crore to ₹108 crore. The complaint stated that bucket chairs were purchased at ₹910 each, nearly double the market price, resulting in a loss of over ₹2 crore.
Azharuddin, Others Named in ₹3.85 Crore Misuse Allegation
The third FIR was filed in 2014 by Aijaj Ali Qureishi. Arshad Ayub, R Devraj, and others were accused of conspiring to fraudulently award contracts for stadium canopies, resulting in a loss of over ₹3 crore.
In October 2023, CEO Suneel Kante lodged four new criminal complaints. These cases accused former HCA officials, including Azharuddin, former secretary R Vijay Anand, and former treasurer Surender Agarwal, of diverting ₹3.85 crore that was allocated for purchasing equipment for the stadium.
