The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has rejected a request from the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to reschedule two of its home domestic games due to the threat of Cyclone Dana.
The CAB had urged BCCI to defer their Ranji Trophy and U-23 Col CK Naidu Trophy matches against Kerala and Railways, respectively, scheduled to be played this week in Kolkata and Kalyani, according to a report in ESPNcricinfo.
Bengal's senior team will host Kerala at the Jadavpur University Campus' second Ground in Kolkata as the third round of the Ranji Trophy begins on Saturday.
The CAB was hopeful that BCCI would accommodate their request with a slightly longer gap between matches for this season. After the conclusion of the match between Bengal and Kerala, both teams will have a week-long gap before their next encounter.
