Services thrown out of Ranji Trophy for not playing in Srinagar
New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Wednesday disqualified Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) from this year’s Ranji Trophy tournament after the team’s refusal to travel to Srinagar for their match against Jammu and Kashmir.
SSCB was scheduled to play Jammu and Kashmir at Srinagar Nov 3-6 in the Plate Division of the Ranji Trophy season-opener Wednesday.
‘The SSCB has forfeited the match expressing their inability to send the team to Srinagar,’ BCCI secretary N. Srinivisan said in a statement.
‘The SSCB has therefore been disqualified from participating in the 2009-10 edition of the Ranji Trophy, in accordance with the rules of the BCCI pertaining to domestic tournaments,’ he said.
‘A decision on any further action against the SSCB will be taken by the working committee of BCCI.’
The match was supposed to herald the return of first-class cricket to the valley after five years.
