Xtra Time Web Desk: The Secretary of BCCI, Jay Shah tweeted that immense hard work has been put behind the scenes to get Ranji Trophy back on track. He also confirmed the tournament will be resumed after a long wait of two years.
“Have been eagerly waiting for this day as India Cricket’s premier domestic tournament, the #RanjiTrophy returns. A lot of effort has gone behind the scenes to get our first-class cricket back on track, and it is now time to let red-ball take centre stage. Good luck, everyone,” Jay Shah tweeted.
The Ranji Trophy would be held in two phases with 64 matches to be played across 62 days.
There are eight Elite Groups and one Plate Group. There would be four teams in Elite Groups and six teams would make up the Plate Group. One team from each Elite Group will qualify for the quarterfinal stages. The lowest-ranked of the eight qualified teams will have to play a pre-quarterfinal with the top team from the Plate Group.
