BCCI on Tuesday decided to stick to its decision to disqualify the Sevices team from playing in the Ranji Trophy.Services had apologised for skipping Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir in Srinagar and also offered to play the match on fresh dates.
BCCI spokesman Rajiv Shukla said,"We have taken the decision to disqualify the Services team from playing in this year's Ranji Trophy. Since the decision has already been taken we will not change it.”
Services last minute quitting had led to angry reactions from the J&K Cricket Association.
A top SSCB official said,"Services cricket is ready to play in Srinagar. Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) has apologised to the BCCI for the administrative slip-up in dispatch of its team and requested them for fresh dates.”
But, the BCCI remained firm in its decision to bar Services from this year's Ranji Trophy cricket season.
