Entire team replaced hours before Ranji Trophy clash; police called after dressing room drama

Meghalaya experienced severe administrative chaos ahead of its Ranji Trophy Plate Group match against Nagaland due to an ongoing internal power struggle within the state cricket association. Following a High Court judgment favoring board president James Sangma over suspended secretary Rayonald Kharkamni, the entire senior squad and the Under-23 team were abruptly replaced on match morning.

The original players discovered their dressing room locked and police were summoned to the venue before the room was eventually opened following an apology.
