Arunachal Pradesh forfeits Ranji Trophy opener against Nagaland

Summary

Arunachal Pradesh has forfeited its Ranji Trophy Plate Group match against Nagaland, scheduled for October 11 in Ahmedabad. This decision stems from an ongoing leadership dispute within the Arunachal Pradesh cricket association, with two rival factions vying for control amid a pending Gauhati High Court case. The administrative crisis has also impacted other competitions, including the Under-19 team’s inability to compete in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy. The absence of a functioning authority has led to delays in team selections, leaving the association in a state of uncertainty regarding its participation in domestic events.
