HCA-staff impasse threatens to take IPL away from Hyderabad

 

 

 

A strike by the staff of the Hyderabad Cricket Association over payment of two months worth of salary, and the continued impasse between them and the board is threatening to put a cloud over the city's chances of hosting IPL matches next month. With Sunrisers Hyderabad winning the title in 2016, the city is scheduled to host the opening fixture of the 10th edition on April 5, preceded by an opening ceremony. They've also been allotted the final of the tournament, to be played on May 21.

 

 

However, the failure of the cash-strapped board to disburse salaries has led over 120 employees, including groundsmen, to go on strike since the first week of March. According to reports, the seven home games of Sunrisers could be shifted to Raipur if the stalemate continues.

 

 

HCA's argument in the mess has been that the BCCI has not disbursed funds to them, without which they are unable to pay their employees. A similar situation had come up right before the India-Bangladesh Test, held earlier in February.

 

 

In a Hyderabad High Court hearing on Monday (March 20), however, the BCCI counsel refuted that claim as the board's counsel Priyadarshan said that BCCI had released money to cricket bodies in various states but could not give it to HCA as they failed to furnish details of vendors. BCCI also conveyed to the HC, names of two retired judges, asking it to appoint them as administrators of the troubled cricket board.

 

 

"We are not asking the court to abolish the existing managing committee, but to bring in fiscal discipline," Priyadarshan said. The bench too agreed and said: "How the money should be spent and how to prioritise it are areas that are better left to the administrators."

 

 

The shifting of matches away from Hyderabad will not be an unprecedented move. In IPL 2010, the Hyderabad side played in Mumbai and Nagpur, owing to the Telangana movement that had caused a lot of unrest in the city.

De Kock under cloud for Hamilton Test, IPL

South Africa will take a late call on Quinton de Kock's availability for the Hamilton Test after scans revealed tendon damage to his right index finger. If de Kock is able to bat pain free with extra strapping, he will play in Hamilton, but even if he participates in the match, his availability for the IPL is in doubt. De Kock will need at between four to six weeks to completely recover.

ESPNcricinfo understands South African team management have already had discussions with Delhi Daredevils coach Paddy Upton to explain de Kock's injury. Should de Kock withdraw from the tournament, he will be the second South African player to pull out of the event, after his Daredevils team-mate JP Duminy decided to miss this year's event due to personal reasons.

"There is every likelihood he will miss the IPL because he will need at least four to six weeks recovery. Being a wickerkeeper, every time he catches the ball, the stress goes onto that area," Mohammed Moosajee, South Africa's team manager, who is also a medical doctor, said. "The risk is that if he doesn't have that four to six weeks rest, and he further aggravates it, it could jeopardise his participation in the Champions Trophy. With that in mind and with the England tour after that, its important we give him the allocated time to recover for the injury."

De Kock's injury was sustained on the third day in Wellington, last Saturday, when he had X-rays done on the finger. A fracture was ruled out. However, he complained of discomfort and could not participate in nets on either Wednesday or Thursday, prompting South Africa to seek another solution. Physiotherapist Brandon Jackson is exploring ways of creating extra padding and team management will take a call on Friday afternoon about whether they will risk de Kock for the match. Should they decide not to, reserve wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen, on his maiden Test tour, will take over and de Kock's recovery period can begin with an aim to return to full fitness by mid-May.

South Africa's players, especially those who play in all formats, are in the middle of one of their busiest periods after the season began last August, with home Tests against New Zealand. They hosted Australia for five ODIs, played three Tests in Australia, a home series against Sri Lanka and an away tour to New Zealand. Those who play in the IPL will travel to India immediately after this series and then head straight into a training camp before the ODIs in England, the Champions Trophy, three T20s and a four-Test series. Only then, will they have a few weeks off before a home summer that includes 10 Tests and the inaugural South African T20 competition.

De Kock was also injured before the last major ICC tournament, and the lay-off affected his form. He rolled over his ankle during the home Test series against West Indies in December 2014 and made a quicker-than-expected comeback in the ODI series that followed in January. However, his World Cup started poorly, with six scores under 20 before an unbeaten 78 in the quarter-final against Sri Lanka.

Since then, de Kock has become one of South Africa's stalwarts across both Test and limited overs cricket. He finished 2016 as South Africa's highest ODI run-scorer and second-highest Test batsman and was on run of five scores of over 50 at one stage. He has continued his form into 2017 and was part of a match-winning partnership with Temba Bavuma in Wellington.

Pune sign Tahir for injured Mitchell Marsh

 

South Africa's Imran Tahir, the No. 1-ranked ODI and T20 bowler, is set to turn up for a second IPL franchise - the Rising Pune Supergiant - after being signed as a replacement for the injured Australian allrounder Mitchell Marsh.

Marsh, who had to leave Australia's tour of India midway because of a shoulder injury, underwent a reconstructive surgery last week and faces the prospect of being sidelined for close to nine months. His unavailability allowed Supergiant to pick from the list of unsold players who had registered for the auction.

Tahir, released by Delhi Daredevils after the previous season, found no buyers at the auction in February, despite listing himself at a base price of 50 lakh INR (US$ 76,394 approx). The franchise now has two overseas legspinners in their roster - they retained Australian legspinner Adam Zampa after an impressive debut season in 2016.

Tahir had picked up 29 wickets in 20 matches for Delhi.

Virat Kohli in doubt for start of IPL

Royal Challengers Bangalore might have to start IPL 2017 without their captain Virat Kohli, as he battles against time to recover from the shoulder injury he picked up during the Australia Tests. The IPL starts on April 5, with Royal Challengers playing defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad in the tournament opener.

 

"It's still a few weeks to go before I can be 100% on the field," Kohli said at the end of the Dharamsala Test, when asked about his fitness. "But these things happen in your career. Got to take it in my strike and move forward."

Kohli had hurt his right shoulder during the third Test in Ranchi, when he dived in an attempt to stop a boundary. He sat out the final Test as a result.

Royal Challengers were yet to offer an official comment on Kohli's availability. Kohli has missed only one game for the franchise so far, in the inaugural season in 2008. In 2016, he scored 973 runs for RCB and could have become the first player to score 1000 runs in an IPL season.
