Maharashtra captain Ankit Bawne was disappointed after their last Elite Group ‘B’ Ranji Trophy game against Mumbai, which ended in a draw at the Brabourne Stadium on Friday. After seven games, Maharashtra secured 26 points without losing a game, but were placed third in the group. Saurashtra, who won three and lost two matches, got 26 points to enter the knockout stage as they won with bonus points. In a similar case, Andhra Pradesh too got knockout qualification with 26 points with four wins and two losses.  

Hence Bawne, 30, who has scored 7,341 runs in 110 first-class games, wants the BCCI to think about points system again. “Honestly, I think the BCCI has to look at the point system. If a bonus point is so crucial then people will start making pitches where games will get over in two days. I think if there is a tie in the points, then we should look at head-to-head. Whoever has won should proceed. This is my view about it.
