Terming it an “illegal” move, Azharuddin said “four to five people” cannot remove him as he was an elected member. Speaking to ANI, he said:
He alleged that members of the Apex Council who issued the show cause notice and suspended him were all tainted.
Blaming the association members, the 58-year-old claimed that he was being targeted for doing good things.
Azharuddin added that he was being targeted for questioning irregularities, like the secretary’s daughter being appointed observer of the U19 state team.
Accusing the members of blackmailing him, Azharuddin also called for an inquiry from the ED and CBI to probe into the alleged corrupt practices in the HCA.
Terming his suspension as HCA president a “false narrative,” Mohammad Azharuddin told the news agency:
Mohammad Azharuddin is a mentor of cricket club in Dubai: HCA notice
The HCA Apex Council issued a show cause notice to Mohammad Azharuddin on June 17, 2021. The notice stated that he is a mentor of a Dubai-based cricket club, Northern Warriors, which plays in a tournament that the BCCI doesn’t recognize.
It also alleged that Mohammad Azharuddin had changed the password of the HCA email to prevent other office bearers from receiving emails from the BCCI.
The five members Mohammad Azharuddin named are yet to respond to his statements.
