Meghalaya Ranji Trophy Team Replaced After High Court Ruling Amid Cricket Board Dispute
Meghalaya's Ranji Trophy team was replaced on the eve of their match against Nagaland following a High Court ruling favoring cricket association president James Sangma. The court invalidated the previous squad selected by the Apex Council amid a dispute over the suspension of secretary Rayonald Kharkamni related to sexual harassment allegations. The original team had practiced and attended the pre-match meeting but was later informed they could not play. A new team was registered with BCCI approval, while tensions led to police involvement and managerial threats.
