NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket board (BCCI) has decided to advance its Meeting with the captains and the coaches of teams in order to smoothen out the domestic calendar. It is learnt that newly-appointed BCCI general manager (cricket ops) Saba Karim has scheduled the meeting on Feb 28, a day after the Vijay Hazare tournament final.
Usually the meeting happens after the conclusion of the IPL but this time there will be two tournaments — Deodhar Trophy and Irani Cup — left to play when the meeting takes place. “The remaining two tournaments are played between teams picked by the senior selection committee, barring the Ranji champions who play the Irani Cup. It’s a good time to discuss the problems as they are fresh in the mind,” a top BCCI official told TOI.
The domestic calendar had to be reworked a few times this season, starting with accommodating the Duleep Trophy. The limited-overs tournaments too had to be rejigged once the season got under way. According to sources, this is the reason why chairman of the selection committee MSK Prasad has also been invited to the meeting.
