According to HCA constitution, a resolution needs to be ratified by the General body
Mohammed Azharuddin
Former India skipper Mohammed Azharuddin is planning to approach the Telangana High Court, seeking a stay on Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) Ombudsman’s order to remove his name from North Stand at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Justice (Retd) V Eswaraiah, who is also HCA’s ethics officer, made the decision on basis of a petition filed by Lords Cricket Club — one of HCA’s member units — which alleged that Azharuddin misused his position as then HCA President by taking arbitrary decisions.

The petition alleged that the veteran of 99 Tests and 334 ODIs violated HCA rules by sitting in the Apex Council meeting as former HCA president to get the resolution passed on naming the North Stand after him in December 2019, barely a month after he became association chief.
According to HCA constitution, a resolution needs to be ratified by the General body. “I will definitely take legal recourse and will be appealing to the High Court to stay this order. It is a shame that an India captain’s name is being asked to be removed,” Azharuddin told PTI.
