"The meeting has been convened to discuss domestic cricket," the sources told PTI.

In the last Working Committee meeting of the Board a three-member special committee was formed to look into the suggestions made by the Technical Committee and the captains and coaches after the one-day conclave here on March 22.

The special panel comprises BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale and former captains Ganguly and Anil Kumble.

Suggestions varying from home-and-away ties, playing on uncovered wickets to widening the gap between two games and a league format for Duleep Trophy, were put forward at the annual Ranji Trophy captains' and coaches' conclave organised by the BCCI here today.

The issue of having uncovered wickets to make it more challenging for the domestic batsmen in order to tune them up for tougher challenges occupied the maximum time during the discussions.

The home-and-away format for Ranji Trophy was suggested as currently the team that fails to qualify for the knockout round remains idle for a long period after playing 6-7 games.

"In the same season, it would be better if, for example, Kerala take on Tamil Nadu at home and then go away to the latter's territory and play the return leg.

"Each team would be assured of more number of games," one captain, who attended the meeting, had said after the conclave held at a suburban hotel here three months ago.

There were also suggestions to use Kookaburra balls in Duleep Trophy and to give a four-day gap between two Ranji games by increasing the existing three-day gap. (More)
