The Indian cricket board has scheduled a revamped Ranji Trophy for the 2021-22 season from January 5 to March 20 next year after it released a revised schedule to the state cricket bodies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Syed Mushtaq Ali T20s will begin on October 27 and run till November 22 whereas the Vijay Hazare one-dayers will run from December 1 to 29. All the three tournaments will follow a uniform pattern this time. The domestic season will, however, commence from September 20 with the women's under-19 one-dayers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"The BCCI is working closely with the Government of India, state regulatory authorities, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that our sport achieves a collaborative solution. With this, there is a combined objective for a complete BCCI Domestic Cricket Season 2021-22 to be played, enabling us to maintain the integrity of each competition," said the BCCI secretary Jay Shah in a letter to state bodies, a copy of which is with IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"The BCCI will proceed with the full season of domestic cricket starting with Under 19 tournaments (both categories) in September 2021," added Shah in the letter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Unlike previous years, this time there will be uniformity in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20s, Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare one-dayers. There will be five Elite groups, with each group comprising six teams, in each tournament. There will be one Plate group of eight teams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The winner of the five Elite groups will make it directly to the quarter-finals. The second-placed teams from each Elite group and the winner of the Plate group will play three pre-quarter finals and the three winners will complete the quarter-final line-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In recent times, teams would play 7, 8 or 9 games - with three Elite groups and one Plate group - in the league phase before moving to the knockouts. The Board had last month issued a statement that the men's domestic season will commence on October 20 and the Ranji Trophy will be held in a three-month window between November, 16, 2021 to February 19, 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The plans have been changed as the Ranji Trophy has been pushed back to next year. "The restart date for BCCI Domestic Cricket Season 2021-22 has been reviewed with all stakeholders, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic develops and we work together through this very challenging time," added Shah in the letter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The BCCI also confirmed that each state squad will be able to have a maximum of 30 members comprising of a minimum of 20 players. It means that the support staff can't exceed 10.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Each team is encouraged to have a team physician to manage COVID related issues. The team physician is separate from the team physiotherapist and is inclusive of the 10 support staff," the letter added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"The last date for the inter-state transfer and registration of guest players is 15 days before the start of the specific tournament."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
