Arunachal Pradesh Forfeits Ranji Trophy Opener Amid Cricket Association Dispute
Arunachal Pradesh forfeited its Ranji Trophy Plate Group opener against Nagaland due to an ongoing administrative dispute within the Arunachal Cricket Association (ACA). The conflict between two factions over recent elections, currently under Gauhati High Court review, has left the association without a functioning authority to select teams. This dispute also caused the state’s Under-19 team to miss a Vinoo Mankad Trophy match. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is unable to intervene until the court resolves the matter, affecting players’ opportunities and the state’s cricket season.
