The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced the schedule of the domestic cricket season for the 2021-’22 campaign on Saturday that is set to commence from September 21 with the Senior Women’s One Day League.

The board will conduct all its domestic tournaments across age-groups, as per the schedule announced.

The domestic season was largely disrupted last season with the entire Ranji trophy season being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, the Ranji Trophy will be played across a three-month window from November 16, 2021 to February 19, 2022.
