SCA attends Special General Meeting of BCCI

Special General Meeting (SGM) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was held in Delhi on 22.06.2018. The President of Sikkim Cricket Association (SCA) Lobzang G. Tenzing represented Sikkim. During the meeting among other agendas the most important was for Northeast states playing Ranji Thropy for the first time in a new format. Exiting Ranji teams will be in the “Elite Division” and the rest in “Plate Division”.  

The decision was made that in the upcoming domestic season, new teams including North Eastern States and Bihar will be playing against each other in the plate division. The top 2 teams from the plate division will then face the bottom two sides of group A, B and C of the elite division and the best two will promoted to the elite division in the following season and bottom 2 from the elite division will be relegated to plate division.

The modalities will be worked soon but the President of SCA Lobzang G. Tenzing was thrilled to note that SGM for the first time resolved to involve Northeast States in Ranji Trophy. He said that, this is the result of the hard work put up by the office bearers of No

rtheast States Associations in last two years. The united front of cricket associations of Northeast States under the umbrella of North East Cricket Development Committee (NECDC) has been in the forefront of lobbying for development of Cricket in North East, he added.

 

This is a brilliant chance for our boys’ to showcase one’s talent in the National arena and playing for the National Team and IPL in future as Ranji Throphy is the main platform. President Lobzang G. Tenzing wishes luck to the players of Sikkim Cricket for the upcoming season and asks the senior cricketers to take up cricket more seriously. He also mentioned that now he awaits SCA to be full voting right member of BCCI.
