Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India disqualified the Services team from the 2009-10 Ranji Trophy after it refused to tour Jammu and Kashmir for their opening game on Tuesday.
"The SSCB forfeited the match, having expressed its inability to send its cricket team to Srinagar," the BCCI said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
"The SSCB has therefore been disqualified from participating in the 2009-10 edition of the Ranji Trophy, in accordance with the rules of the BCCI pertaining to Domestic Tournaments.
A decision on any further action against the SSCB will be taken by the BCCI’s Working Committee," the statement added.
Slamming the BCCI after the Services team refused to play in Srinagar, Union Minister and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah had said that he would "tear apart" the BCCI for the action of the team.
"If ambassadors can come, how is it that Services team can't come. The people who advised them should be taken to task," the Farooq told CNN-IBN.
"I think they just want to keep the candle burning so that the people of Jammu and Kashmir suffer. "I am sad that this will be detrimental to the country," he added.
