MUMBAI: Will the Ranji Trophy be held or not? The million dollar question was deferred to another day after a meeting of the BCCI's office-bearers on Thursday, held specifically to decide on the fate of the traditional tournament, failed to reach a conclusion. The BCCI had initially postponed the Ranji Trophy for the 2021-22 season due to a covid surge in the country.
"We need some time to take a final decision on this matter. The number of cases in the country is still high," a top BCCI official told TOI. "The fact that a meeting with this agenda was held means that the BCCI, particularl y its president, Sourav Ganguly, is still hopeful of organizing at least the league stage of the tournament. If it was to be cancelled, it wouldn't have taken so long for the BCCI to announce it. The office-bearers are likely to meet on Monday to take a final call," said a reliable source.
