Ever since the First Commonwealth Cricket Team visited India and for the first time that the Hyderabad Cricket Association organised the match against the visiting Team, the match being played at the Secunderabad Gymkhana Grounds, it had been a practice to publish a Souvenir/Brochure to commemorate the event.

This was followed till early nineties – that whenever an International Team visited India, the BCCI would allot a match to Hyderabad and the Hyderabad Cricket Association would bring out a Souvenir to mark the occasion. However, this tradition had been discontinued with for the past couple of decades, despite Hyderabad hosting several International matches.

This, thus, deprived the cricket loving public of the Twin Cities of getting information about the members of the participating Teams and also interesting articles written by well known sports scribes and legendary cricketers.

The present Executive Committee of the Hyderabad Cricket Association decided to revive its old tradition and in association with the Veterans Cricket Association of Hyderabad, is bringing out a Souvenir/Brochure to commemorate this historical event when the first ever Test Match between India and Bangladesh in India would be organised by the Hyderabad Cricket Association, to be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium from 9th February to 13th February 2017.

The Brochure compiled, designed and produced by the former HCA Secretary and Manager of the 1983 World Cup winning Indian Team, Mr. P.R. Man Singh; would contain articles written by legendary cricketers like Abbas Ali Baig, Mohinder Amarnath, V.V.S. Laxman, S. Venkataraghavan, Syed Kirmani, Saad Bin Jung and other well-known writers – R. Mohan, Harsha Bhogle, Suresh Menon. The brochure would also have some lovely cartoons and also the statistics of the matches played between the two neighbouring countries.
