Abhijit Sen Gupta The woods are lovely dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
These famous lines by the Scottish poet Robert Burns aptly describe the situation in which Mohammed Azharuddin, President of the Hyderabad Cricket Association, now finds himself.
The man, whose wristy flicks enthralled the world, now has an uphill task on his hands but is willing to take the bull by the horns and apply himself to the job wholeheartedly. In a candid and wide ranging interview to siasat.com he outlined his approach and his plans to improve cricket in Hyderabad.
Question: What are your plans to take the game forward in Hyderabad? We have seen a lot of disagreement within the HCA regarding appointment of the Ombudsman. But players and fans want a peaceful and constructive atmosphere. What is your vision of the future and how do you plan to resolve the conflicting issues and develop cricket? Answer: “Well, what I say is that everyone must work together and follow the rules. Without cooperation, there can be no progress. All the people in the HCA are experienced and everyone knows his responsibilities. So everyone should come on board and work together to bring about an atmosphere where the game will progress. The game is bigger than each one of us so we must focus on cricket and nothing else. At present all the talk is about many things other than cricket. We must all get back to talking and planning about the game.” Q: There have been allegations of widespread corruption and malpractices in the selection of teams and other aspects. How are you planning to eradicate these misdeeds?
