CAB writes to BCCI over Ranji rescheduling

The Cricket Association of Bengal today wrote a letter to the BCCI requesting not to review the decision of rescheduling the Bengal versus Gujarat Ranji match at its tournament committee meeting tomorrow.
"The decision adopted by the BCCI for rescheduling the match is appropriate, the same is also beyond the scope of any review both in factual as well as constitutional powers.
"It is sincerely expected that in the longer interest of the game, the decision would not be reviewed abusing the sport of fair play," CAB joint secretary Avishek Dalmiya wrote in a letter to the BCCI president and secretary.

The issue began when the Bengal-Gujarat clash in New Delhi from November 5-8 finished without a ball being bowled because of smog and the contest has now been rescheduled from December 15 in Visakhapatnam.
With stiff competition for the quarterfinals in Group A during the business end of the league, it is learnt that the Mumbai Cricket Association supported by the Tamil Nadu CA had raised an objection about the rescheduling and instead suggested that one point each should have been awarded to both the teams.
Mumbai lead the group with 29 points from seven matches, five points clear of Gujarat with a match in hand.

In third place, Tamil Nadu have 23 from seven matches while Bengal have 17 from six matches on the sixth place in the nine-team table.
