 Secunderabad: Four days after the nod to Lodha panel recommendations, the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) is getting its acts together, albeit in bits and pieces.

Association Secretary T Shesh Narayan, in a release here on Thursday, stated that in conformity with the recommendations, Hyderabad men and women ought to form their respective associations immediately. 

He said it would be in the fitness of things if a Steering Committee is formed with N Shivlal Yadav, Arshad Ayub, SL Venktapathi Raju, VVS Laxman, Noel David, Govind Raj, Vijay Mohan Raj, and Swaroop, who could help form the Player’s Association.
