Ranji Trophy games suspended in Assam, Tripura as curfews cripple states

New Delhi: Day four proceedings of the Ranji Trophy games in Guwahati and Agartala were Thursday suspended due to the curfew imposed in the region following protests over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.

Hosts Assam were in the middle of their series-opener against Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) while Tripura were facing Jharkhand.

“We have been advised by the state association not to go ahead with the game. Players have been asked to remain in the hotel. The players’ safety is paramount,” BCCI GM Cricket Operations Saba Karim said.

“Whether the game will be replayed or the points will be shared. We will take a call on that later,” he added.
