MUMBAI: The BCCI has come out with the schedule of what will be a bumper domestic season for Indian cricket in 2018-19, consisting of more than 2000 matches. The season kicks off in August with the Duleep Trophy across various age groups in the men’s and women’s category.
The spike in the number of matches has a lot to do with the induction of 9 new teams in the Ranji Trophy from the North East region in the Plate Group category namely Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, Sikkim & Uttarakhand.
