The BCCI has issued a fresh itinerary for domestic cricket in India with the 2021-22 season of the Ranji Trophy tournament scheduled to be played between January 5 to March 20.

The Ranji Trophy wasn’t held last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The senior men’s cricket will commence from October 27 with the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which will be held after the IPL in order to ensure availability of quality cricketers. The Vijay Hazare Trophy (National One Dayers) will be played from December 1 to 29, while senior women will play their first tournament—National One Day—from October 20 to November 20.
