IPL 2025: IPL team SRH and Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) have agreed as they have signed a deal and have complied with the rules set by BCCI as far as buying tickets and passes are concerned. This decision was made after SRH management threatened to change the venue after accusing HCA of accusing them. SRH then took BCCI and IPL council's help, which would help them to stop blackmailing tactics for free passes. “I write with serious concern regarding the ongoing developments with the HCA and their repeated blackmailing tactics towards the Sunrises Hyderabad franchise,” an SRH official had written in a mail.
"This issue has been recurring, and I believe it requires immediate attention from the BCCI and the IPL governing body,” he said.
Both SRH and HCA had issued a statement after signing the treaty.
