Andhra services match cancelled

The second Plate Group 'B' Ranji Trophy match between Andhra and Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) scheduled to be held at Anantapur from November 10 has been cancelled owing to the ban on the SSCB team by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for 'forfieting' its earlier match against Jammu and Kashmir.

ACA sources told UNI here this evening they had received information to this effect from the BCCI.

On November 3, the BCCI banned the Services team from participating in the 2009-10 season after they refused to tour Srinagar for the Plate Division match against Jammu and Kashmir citing security reasons.

The BCCI in its statement had said the action taken was in accordance with the rules of the BCCI pertaining to domestic tournaments.

Andhra which had drawn its first match against Kerala at Thalassery secured three points from the match. They will now play Madhya Pradesh here from November 17.

The sources said the match between Andhra and Haryana which was scheduled to be held at Visakhapatnam from December 1 to 4 has been shifted to Vijayawada as the India-Sri Lanka ODI will be held at ACA-YSRVDCA stadium at Vizag on December 18.

The match was shifted as the officials at Visakhapatnam wanted time to prepare the wicket and the outfield for the ODI, the sources said.
