The domestic season 2020-2021 was to begin with the Vijay Hazare Trophy in late August followed by the Ranji Trophy, the Duleep Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. On the other hand, the Iranian trophy was canceled last season due to the lockdown restrictions.
When asked about domestic and junior cricket, Ganguly said, "These are necessary but only after the coronavirus epidemic is controlled. Only after the conditions are secured, especially junior cricket." Ganguly further said that India is a big country and teams have to travel from one place to another for matches and hence domestic cricket will not start until everything is safe.
The BCCI chief said, "We do not want to take risks on young players. Our country is so big and our domestic cricket is so strong that everybody has to travel to play. Therefore, it will not be held until it is safe. "Similarly, tournaments of the age group will not be held at the moment.
