BCCI announces India's 2022-23 domestic schedule, over 1500 matches scheduled
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has released the complete lineup of domestic tournaments slated to be held in the upcoming season. A combined total of over 1,500 games are expected to be held across both men's and women's cricket provided there are no major disruptions in the calendar.
Following three years of stop-and-start domestic cricket owing to COVID-19 scares and ensuing lockdowns, Indian cricket fans can finally look forward to a full-fledged season in 2022-23. The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Monday published the complete calendar for the upcoming cricket year, with the season slated to start in September 2022 and will run until March next year.
Duleep Trophy has been given the honour of kick-starting the season, having last been played in 2019-20. The first-class competition will feature six zonal teams in the form of North, South, Central, West, East and Northeast and will follow a knockout format to determine the winner. Another tournament returning to the roster is the Irani Trophy scheduled to take place immediately after the Duleep Trophy, making it two red-ball competitions in the first phase of the season.
The men will then move on to limited overs cricket, with the List-A tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy and the T20 league Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy taking place between 38 teams. Both of them will consist of three 8-team groups along with two groups comprised of seven teams. The same outfits will then compete in the Ranji Trophy, India's premier first-class competition and considered to be the most prestigious domestic honour in the country. However, the grouping will be a bit different with there being five elite groups of eight teams each while the plate division will only host six teams.
