The Committee of Administrators (COA) instructed the BCCI not to scrap the Duleep Trophy from the domestic calendar.

The Committee of Administrators (COA) on Tuesday instructed BCCI not to scrap the Duleep Trophy from the domestic calendar after the tournament was removed, keeping technical committee chairman Sourav Ganguly in the dark.

“The Duleep Trophy has been restored. It will be held and logistics will be worked out. We have told BCCI not to scrap it. It should be there. It is a very prestigious tournament and it should be held. It will be held this season,” COA member Diana Edulji said.
