HCA Secretary Jeevan Reddy Sparks Fresh Revival in Hyderabad Cricket
Hyderabad cricket, once the cradle of legends like Azharuddin and VVS Laxman, is witnessing a quiet resurgence, and much of the credit goes to Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) secretary Jeevan Reddy. Since taking charge, Jeevan has focused on rebuilding the ecosystem from grassroots to elite structures, and his recent moves have caught the attention of the cricketing fraternity across the country.
One of his standout achievements has been convincing former India stars Ambati Rayudu and Wasim Jaffer to associate with Hyderabad cricket in mentorship and coaching capacities. Both names carry immense credibility — Rayudu as a modern-day batting great with deep local roots, and Jaffer as one of the most respected batting coaches in domestic cricket. CricketBuzz understands that their involvement is expected to significantly sharpen the technical and mental approach of young Hyderabad cricketers preparing for the upcoming domestic season.
A 100-Acre Vision for the Future
Beyond personnel, Jeevan Reddy's most ambitious project is the proposed world-class stadium spread across a 100-acre site in Future City, following a recent announcement by the state government. The facility is envisioned as a modern cricketing hub complete with multiple practice pitches, indoor academies, and player-development centres, aimed at giving Hyderabad the infrastructure to match its rich cricketing legacy. As CricketBuzz reported earlier, such large-scale investments are rare in domestic cricket circles, making this a landmark move for the region.
If executed as planned, the stadium could become one of the most advanced cricketing venues in India, potentially hosting international fixtures and IPL matches in the future. For a state that has produced numerous India internationals but often struggled with consistent infrastructure, this project signals a serious long-term commitment to reviving Hyderabad's cricketing stature.
With experienced mentors now guiding the next generation and a state-of-the-art stadium on the horizon, Jeevan Reddy's tenure could mark a defining chapter for Hyderabad cricket. The coming months will reveal how quickly these plans translate into results on the ground. Stay with CricketBuzz for more updates as this story develops.
