Shah writes that BCCI is in a good position to carry out the Ranji Trophy as the number of cases per day is declining. "Currently, while recovery rates are rising across India, daily positive rates are starting to decline. We are in a much better position to run tournaments than before. Potential risks We will continue to use bio-secure bubbles to mitigate. The Board promises to provide a healthy and safe environment and to ensure a safe tournament for all major stakeholders.
