India ki domestic cricket ka season peak par hai, lekin Arunachal Pradesh mein cricket ground par nahi, balki court ki files mein khela ja raha hai. Factionalism aur internal politics ne state cricket ko us mod par la khada kiya hai jahan Ranji Trophy opener forfeit karne ki naubat aa gayi hai. Jab players ko nets mein hona chahiye, tab association ke log court ke chakkar kaat rahe hain. Yeh sirf ek game ka loss nahi hai, balki un sapno ka katal hai jo state ke young cricketers ne dekhe the.
The Guru Story: Court Kacheri aur Cricket ka Sharamnaak Haal
The Arunachal Pradesh Cricket Association is currently a house divided. Do warring factions ke beech ki ladayi Itanagar bench of the Gauhati High Court tak pahunch gayi hai. Problem itni serious hai ki Arunachal Pradesh ki team Nagaland ke khilaaf apna Ranji Trophy Plate Group opener forfeit kar sakti hai, jo October 11 se Ahmedabad mein shuru hona hai. Jab tak court clearance nahi deta, tab tak state mein koi decision lene wala bacha hi nahi hai.
Haal hi mein ek bada jhatka tab laga jab Arunachal Pradesh apni Under-19 team ko Vinoo Mankad Trophy ke liye Bhubaneswar nahi bhej paaya. Sikkim ke khilaaf match tha, lekin fielding karne ke liye players hi available nahi the kyunki association mein koi selection call lene wala hai hi nahi. Professional players, jo contracted hain, wo Ahmedabad mein team ko join karenge ya nahi, is par abhi bhi ek bada sawal nishaan bana hua hai. Even the BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia has made it clear that their hands are tied because the matter is sub-judice.
September mein elections huye the jahan Nabam Vivek ko President chuna gaya tha, lekin multiple district associations ne irregularities ka allegation lagakar court ka darwaza khatkhataya. Ab situation yeh hai ki na BCCI step-in kar sakta hai aur na hi koi selection committee form ho sakti hai. Is level ka administrative failure dekh kar toh Pakistan Cricket Board bhi sochega ki chalo koi toh hai jo humse zyada confusion mein rehta hai. While Pakistan keeps changing their captains like clothes, Arunachal Pradesh mein toh team hi gayab hone ki kagaar par hai.
Analysis: Fact Check and Key Points
- Ranji Trophy Plate Group opener against Nagaland is scheduled for October 11 in Ahmedabad.
- Under-19 team already forfeited a Vinoo Mankad Trophy game against Sikkim due to the same crisis.
- The Gauhati High Court has reserved its order: no authority can take selection decisions until the verdict.
- Last season, Arunachal Pradesh finished at the bottom of the Plate table with zero wins in five games.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
This is a pure administrative Masterclass in how to ruin a sport. Jab players mehnat karte hain, toh boards unhe support karne ke liye hote hain, na ki unka career court ke chakkar mein phansane ke liye. Arunachal Pradesh cricket ki yeh halat dekh kar dukh hota hai. BCCI should have found a way to intervene early, just like they did in Bihar. Agar yeh forfeit hota hai, toh yeh sirf ek state association ki haar nahi, balki Indian domestic structure par ek dhabba hoga. Cricket is for the players, not for the politicians in white suits.
