The game of cricket too is being hovered by clouds of Telangana agitation. Some protesters purported to belong to 'Telangana Cricket Joint Action Committee' (TCJAC) staged a sit-in in the middle of the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium where the Hyderabad Ranji Trophy team was practising. This had put the already beleaguered Hyderabad Cricket Association officials in an embarrassment as former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar was overseeing the practice session at that moment.
As stunned coach Sunil Joshi and dazed security officials stood watching, a group of eight members of the TCJAC, led by Jimmy Babu, swooped on to the practice wickets and squatted on the pitches, protesting against the alleged selection blunders while picking the Ranji squad for the first two matches. The protesters said they would not allow the Ranji game against Jharkhand from Thursday to be held if some of the players who had been dropped were not recalled. They also questioned the appointment of Joshi as the coach of the Ranji team.
However, police intervention saved the day as they cleared the field of all the protesters, but no arrests were made. Last month, during the India vs England oneday series, it was rumoured that TRS chief KCR struck a deal with BCCI for a huge amount to adjust the dates of TJAC called rail roko protest not to come in way of the match played at Uppal Stadium on 14 October. Earlier in 2010 also, the Telangana agitation had driven away all IPL matches from Hyderabad.
