They would only be figuring in the 6th Zone, specially created for six NE states, to play age-group tournaments along with women tournaments from ongoing 2017-18 season. This was decided after the meeting of six NE state cricket representatives with the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (COA) here on Friday. "They (NE states) must ensure that rejected players from other states, mostly from Delhi and Bengal, should not be allowed to play in the junior age-group cricket. BCCI has received many complaints that many overage and rejected players from other major states use bogus domiciles to play from these NE states. BCCI will certainly work closely with these NE states to help them develop the cricketing infrastructure there from now.
