The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly is pretty determined to have the Ranji trophy this season but time is a huge factor.
"He is serious that the Ranji Trophy should be conducted at any cost," said an important member of the BCCI. "Can we pull it off? We don't know,” as per Cricbuzz.
"It will have to be a mega exercise as bio bubbles will have to be created and recreated," said the BCCI member added. Though the reports suggest that there is a possibility of holding the Vijay Hazare Trophy if Ranji Trophy doesn’t take place.
The source further said that the creating a bio-bubble for so many teams isn’t really possible.
“We’re just being practical. Let’s face it – the pandemic still hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s here and our lives continue to remain dispossessed by it. There are 38 First Class teams and a bio-bubble of that degree is simply not possible.”
The domestic season in India started with the beginning of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy earlier this month. The tournament is scheduled to take place till January 31. Bihar, Haryana, Saurashtra, Baroda, Tamil Nadu and Punjab are sitting at the helm of the points table in their respective groups.
Avi Banot has scored the highest runs so far and has a tally of 258 from 4 matches at an average of 64.50 while in the bowling department , it is Ishan Porel who leads the pack with 13 wickets under his belt.
