Captains reject neutral venue, Ranji Trophy to get back to home-away format

Captains reject neutral venue, Ranji Trophy to get back to home-away formatPhoto: PTI Mumbai: The concept of going back to the home and away format in Ranji Trophy games after one year's experiment with neutral venue format found favour from the majority of participants in the BCCI's captains-cum-coaches conclave here. "An overwhelming majority (of captains and coaches) wanted to go back to the home and away concept," said a Ranji Trophy skipper after the conclusion of the two-hour meeting that discussed "every aspect of BCCI tournaments", according to BCCI's acting secretary, Amitabh Chaudhry. "There were views supporting both the formats. Instead of making a calculation of how many people were on which side, what was done was that points made to substantiate a certain position on either of the two formats have been collated," said Chaudhry. "They will be brought to the technical committee and then put before the general body which will take a call," he added. "The meeting lasted two hours and covered every aspect of the BCCI tournaments, particularly the Ranji Trophy. Even the Vijay Hazare (one-dayers) and Mushtaq Ali (T20s) were discussed. There was also a discussion on junior tournaments even though it was the Ranji captains and coaches conclave. Every tournament literally got covered," Chaudhry explained. "All aspects of the game, various tournaments, playing conditions and players' welfare - everything was discussed," he added.
