Patna High Court has issued an order and put a stay on those decisions, which related to the appointment of Amit Kumar as Secretary and the formation of a new selection committee. Justice Shailesh Kumar Sinha, who was made Lokpal after the order of Patna High Court on 5 August 2024, is also no longer the Lokpal after the new order. Also, the Bihar team announced by Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) has left for Rohtak. Bihar will start its Ranji Trophy 2024 campaign against Haryana from October 11.
After the new decision of Patna High Court, the recognition of Bihar cricket team has also been cancelled, which was selected under the leadership of Amit and the chairmanship of Zishan Ul Yaqin. Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, a senior BCA official said that an attempt was being made to tarnish the image of Bihar cricket by misusing the old order of the Patna High Court (5 August 2024).
“For the last few days, efforts were being made to tarnish Bihar cricket. It does not happen that a person declares himself the secretary of an association which is under BCCI. Not only this, he also pays his own salary as per his wish. Make a selection committee and announce the team. Not only this, also include the names of those players who were part of the BCA practice camp in that list.
Senior Officer, BCA
The players whose names were included in the list of Bihar cricket team released on Monday, all of them have told BCA through mail that they have no contact with former BCA secretary Amit nor were they part of the camp which was Was following the leadership of Amit. ESPNcricinfo also has a copy of the mails that the players have sent to the BCA.
ESPNcricinfo also spoke to Zishan, who was the chairman of the selection committee that selected the Bihar Ranji team on Monday. Zishan said, “I respect the court's decision and the selection committee I was heading was doing so only after the Lokpal's order. I am happy that the dilemma of the players of Bihar has been reduced.” And after all they are going to Rohtak, I also liked that many players of the team I had selected are also included in this team. I have said earlier and again that I have nothing to do with any group. “Cricket has to be made better.”
