The Ranji Trophy knockouts have been pushed back by two days, with the quarterfinals now set to begin in Bengaluru on June 6. As a result, the final will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium from June 22 to 26.
Jay Shah, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary, communicated the revised itinerary, along with ground allotment and telecast arrangement details, to the BCCI affiliates in an email on Saturday.
While the email, accessed by The Hindu, doesn’t specify the reason for deferring the knockouts, it is understood that the unavailability of the Chinnaswamy Stadium before June 22 for the final was the main reason for the postponement.
