India's domestic Ranji Trophy has been postponed after a nationwide surge in coronavirus cases, the country's cricket board said in a statement.
The first-class competition — named for Maharaja Ranjitsinhji, an Indian prince who played for England in the 1890s — was scheduled to start this month.
But the long-format tournament and February's Twenty20 women's league were both called off until further notice, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said, according to AFP.
“BCCI does not want to compromise the safety of the players, support staff, match officials and other participants involved,” its statement read.
