Vijay Deverakonda mired in TCA controversy
The controversy centres on whether the tournament has received the necessary approvals from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The TCA has questioned the Hyderabad Cricket Association’s (HCA) claims regarding the league’s approval status and alleged that the tournament may not have followed the prescribed procedures required for conducting a commercial T20 competition.
