Test regular Mayank Agarwal, who represents Karnataka in India’s premier first-class tournament, will not be taking part in their next game against Mumbai. Fast bowler Navdeep Saini, who plays for Delhi, also did not play against Hyderabad after he was reportedly asked to rest by the Indian team management.

BCCI on player’s availability for Ranji Trophy 2019-20

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) were asked to give their take on the player's rising boycott of Ranji Trophy 2019. A reliable source from the board said that the Indian cricket team's medical staff manages the workload of each player in the side. The only exceptions to the NBA-style workload management policy of the BCCI this season have been the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Prithvi Shaw, who have either been injured, banned or played just one format of the game for India this home season.
