HCA chief Mohammed Azharuddin said on Thursday that he would address the alleged corruption charges against his governing body after hosting the first T20I game between India and West Indies on December 6. Ambati Rayudu had recently accused Hyderabad Cricket Association of corruption.

“Since this is a T20 game which we are holding, I don’t want to take anything away from the game. I want you to report only on this game, focus on the T20 game,” said the former India captain. “I am sure you must have come very well prepared. After the sixth, if there is anything, we will have another press conference. I will address the other things which have been happening in the recent past.”

The T20 match would be Azharuddin’s first assignment as an administrator after he was being elected as HCA president in September this year.

“I think we are fully prepared. It’s very a tough thing to hold a match. Since, it’s my first match as an administrator … when I was playing, I used to play the game and go back home or go back to hotel. But, this thing, it’s is a different responsibility,” he added.

Mohammed Azaruddin said he is treating this match as his debut as well.

“Many butterflies. I could not play T20 at that time. It was not there. So, I take it as I play T20,” the 56-year-old said. “Playing cricket and being in the administration are two different things. Whatever little experience I have gained from playing cricket, I will put that into use,” he said.

BCCI vice-president John Manoj, who was also present, said a Mohd Azharuddin stand would be put there in the stadium.

“This is an event which we have been waiting for it and lot of people must be thinking why Azharuddin is missing. We made it possible. It was decided in the apex council (of HCA),” he said.
