MUMBAI: The BCCI will conduct the CK Nayudu Trophy (for Under-25), which it had postponed due to a Covid-19 surge in January, from March 17 to May 1, a period which will also see IPL-2022 being held. This is the first time that the BCCI will conduct a domestic men’s tournament during the IPL.
In a letter (TOI has a copy) to all the state associations on Saturday, BCCI secretary Jay Shah wrote: “Dear all, as you are aware, the COVID-19 situation has had an impact on cricket. As the number of covid cases witnessed a steep surge, the BCCI postponed several domestic tournaments. The rising cases led to an indefinite postponement of our premier domestic tournament — the Ranji Trophy, along with the CK Nayudu and the Senior Women’s T20 League.
