Overview

  • SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) is considering relocating IPL 2025 matches away from Hyderabad due to alleged intimidation and blackmail by the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA).
  • The conflict escalated after HCA officials allegedly locked a box during a match and demanded 20 additional complimentary tickets beyond the agreed allocation.
  • SRH’s general manager, Srinath TB, sent a formal letter to HCA, citing unprofessional behavior, operational disruptions, and a hostile environment.
  • The franchise claims these issues have persisted since the 2024 IPL season despite a 12-year working relationship with HCA.
  • SRH has requested an urgent meeting with HCA’s apex council to address the allegations and seek a resolution to avoid relocating matches.
