BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has given reassurance to the state-associations that the Ranji Trophy will resume this season despite its postponement due to the rise in Omicron cases.
The BCCI reportedly had called an emergency meeting on January 3rd to discuss the requirements for the season to begin in attendance of the office-bearers and the broadcasters.
However, with cases growing, especially among member state associations the BCCI decided that hosting the tournament wasn’t worth the risk.
A BCCI official was quoted saying, “We want to see how the Covid situation evolves. We will try to hold the games but at this stage they are on hold.”
The plan is to complete the league stage before the start of the IPL in April and then hold the knockouts after the league, an idea that was planned last year too, albeit without success.
