MCA joint secretary Prof Ratnakar Shetty today said in a release here that the Rs 9 lakh prize money tournament was proposed at a time when there was no domestic or international programme charted out by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

“However, with the announcement of the Triangular series (by BCCI) involving India,Kenya and Bangladesh (May 11-24), the availability of leading cricketers would be in doubt,” Shetty said in a release.
