The third T20I is all set to take place in Hyderabad on 25th September with the match tickets going up for sale on Thursday morning.

The 59-year-old addressed the media during a press conference which was also attended by Hyderabad’s Sports Minister. He said,  “It is not as easy to conduct a match as sitting in this room and discussing. We have done nothing wrong. We are with the fans who were injured in the morning incidents, and the HCA will take care of them completely. I will give a complete report on the sale of tickets, availability and other details to the Minister and he will tell you what is correct and what is wrong.”

“There are going to be problems. Yes, the public wants to see the match after a three-year gap. But, again, not all of them can do it. We will give all the details at the media briefing on Friday. We have nothing to hide. But, at the same time, we have to make sure the game goes forward. The Supreme Court has not given any order restraining my powers,” Mohammad Azharuddin added.
