Arunachal Pradesh set to pull out of Nagaland clash in Ranji Trophy 2026-27

The Arunachal Pradesh squad is facing the prospect of forfeiting its upcoming tournament opener against Nagaland due to an ongoing administrative battle within the regional cricket association. Legal disputes concerning executive election protocols have left selectors unable to finalize a roster, creating deep uncertainty for athletes whose livelihoods depend on the sport.

While opponents have already traveled to the venue, local players remain stranded without a finalized lineup and risk facing a suspension for the entire competition if they fail to take the field. Senior team members have expressed profound anxiety over the situation, noting that aspiring professionals who paused their formal education for athletic pursuits now face career-threatening delays.
