BCCI to conduct 900 domestic matches in 2015-16 season
"This will translate into 2100 days of cricket that includes, senior domestic tournaments, junior domestic tournaments and women’s cricket," the board said in a statement.
The matches will be conducted before the start of the World T20 in March or April next year that will be hosted in India.
Speaking on the domestic schedule, BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur said, “This year we have re structured the domestic schedule based on our international commitments and ensure that all our players will get an opportunity to participate and perform, thereby improving their chances of being selected for our National teams."
He said: "We are releasing the schedule well in advance so that our state associations and teams have enough time to plan and prepare for the forthcoming season. We do recognise that domestic cricket is of paramount importance and BCCI will continuously strive to improve the standards and ensure that the foundations of Indian cricket are further strengthened.”
