Bihar Cricket Association: Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) president Rakesh Tiwary on Tuesday clarified about the “two teams” mystery during the Ranji match, saying it was nothing but a conspiracy from “some people” who wanted to tarnish the image of state cricket.

On January 5, the first match of the Ranji Trophy season 2023-24 between last season's Plate Group winners Bihar and Mumbai saw plenty of drama even before its start at the Moin-Ul-Haq Stadium in Patna.

Two teams from Bihar appeared at the gates of the stadium with team sheets in hand. One team was approved by the BCA chief and another by someone claiming to be BCA’s secretary. However, after the police intervention, Tiwary’s side took the field.
