The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) remains undecided on whether it will be possible to host Ranji Trophy or Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gave its approval to start the season for the women’s senior team from March while a call on the fate of the Ranji Trophy was not taken in the Apex Council meeting on Sunday.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly remained committed to hosting Ranji Trophy while some members suggested that it would be advisable to host the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
"The president remains committed to Ranji Trophy but a few others were not on the same page and wanted to host Vijay Hazare Trophy instead (50-over event). The operations team has been asked to work on the logistics for Ranji Trophy, which is obviously a much bigger challenge in the current circumstances," a BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
"It will be either Ranji Trophy or Vijay Hazare and it will be decided by the end of next week," the official said.
The BCCI has approached Sri Lanka and South Africa to resume international cricket for the national women's team. The details are being chalked out, and it is believed that the Board is in conversation with various overseas Boards.
"It is likely to be a full-fledged domestic season for women and there will be finally some cricket for our international stars with Sri Lanka and South Africa coming to India," the official added.
The board also had a discussion on tax solutions for ICC T20 men’s cricket World Cup. With the T20 World Cup nine months away, BCCI has little time left.
