Hyderabad revamps pitches and prep to break its Ranji knockout ceiling

Hyderabad is aiming to overcome its history of early exits in the Ranji Trophy by implementing significant structural changes. Under the guidance of the Cricket Operations Committee led by Ambati Rayudu, the team has overhauled its home pitches at the Gymkhana Ground to favor decisive results and held extensive preparation camps following the TG20 tournament.

The squad is bolstered by the presence of Mohammed Siraj and the appointment of Wasif Jaffer as a mentor, with head coach Anirudh Singh emphasizing the need for better execution. Meanwhile, Tripura has arrived in Hyderabad early to adjust to local conditions after weather issues hampered their own pre-season training, with coach Satrajit Lahiri expressing confidence in his side's growth.
