Arunachal Pradesh May Miss Ranji Opener Due to Legal Feud
· Sports · Indian Express, ESPNCricinfo
Arunachal Pradesh may not participate in the opening Ranji Trophy fixture against Nagaland in Ahmedabad due to a legal dispute within their state cricket association. The BCCI has informed opponents that the state may not field any team until the court resolves the factional dispute. The feud began after the election of Nabam Vivek as president, with six district associations challenging the poll results in the Guwahati High Court. The court has reserved its judgment, leaving the state association non-functional. The BCCI cannot intervene due to the court stay, and no interim order has been issued. Arunachal finished last in the Plate League in the previous two seasons.
Why it matters
Arunachal Pradesh's cricket teams, from age-group levels to senior cricket, are affected by the legal dispute. The state's participation in domestic cricket remains uncertain until the court delivers its judgment.
