The Telangana Cricket Association (TCA) issues legal notices to actor Vijay Deverakonda and actor Venkatesh, as well as cricketers Mohammed Siraj, Tilak Varma, and Ambati Rayudu, over allegations involving the TG20 League. The TCA challenges the league’s legitimacy and promotional activities, saying the tournament is not approved by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). According to the TCA, state cricket bodies must meet specific BCCI requirements before launching a commercial T20 tournament, including having a fully elected governing council through an AGM and obtaining written BCCI clearance at least 45 days before the event begins. The TCA says the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), which organizes the TG20 League, has not provided proof of obtaining the required BCCI approval. TCA officials also call on corporate sponsors and celebrity endorsers to publicly clarify whether they are associated with the unauthorised league, arguing that endorsements could mislead the public and affect players—particularly those aspiring to make a career through the competition.
