The 2007–08 season is Hyderabad cricket team's 74th competitive season. The Hyderabad cricket team is senior men's domestic cricket team based in the city of Hyderabad, India, run by the Hyderabad Cricket Association. They represent the region of Telangana in the state of Andhra Pradesh in domestic competitions.
In the beginning of the season, seven Ranji players signed up to play in Indian Cricket League (ICL), a private cricket league funded by Zee Entertainment Enterprises but not approved by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). [1] [2] Earlier, BCCI said that the players signed with ICL will be banned for life from playing in India and also barred the ICL players from taking part in all domestic tournaments which led to the exclusion of ICL players from Hyderabad squad. [3] The list include former India U-19 captain, Ambati Rayudu. The others were Devishetty Vinay Kumar, Ibrahim Khaleel, Anirudh Singh, Shashank Nag, Inder Shekar Reddy and Kaushik Reddy. [4] The luring of domestic players by ICL also led BCCI to counter the rebel T20 league by starting their own franchise-based T20 competition called Indian Premier League whose first season was slated to start in April 2008.
