The Sourav Ganguly-led Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) wrote a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India requesting not to review the decision of rescheduling the Bengal versus Gujarat Ranji match at its tournament committee meeting on Tuesday.
"The decision adopted by the BCCI for rescheduling the match is appropriate, the same is also beyond the scope of any review both in factual as well as constitutional powers.
"It is sincerely expected that in the longer interest of the game, the decision would not be reviewed abusing the sport of fair play," CAB joint secretary Avishek Dalmiya wrote in a letter to BCCI president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke, on Monday.
The issue began when the Bengal-Gujarat clash in New Delhi from November 5-8 was called off without a ball being bowled because of smog and the match was rescheduled to held in Visakhapatnam from December 15.
With stiff competition for a place in the quarter-finals in Group A during the business end of the league, it is learnt that the Mumbai Cricket Association supported by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association had raised an objection about the rescheduling and instead suggested that one point each should have been awarded to both the teams.
Mumbai lead the group with 29 points from seven matches, five points clear of Gujarat with a match in hand.
In third place, Tamil Nadu have 23 from seven matches while Bengal have 17 from six matches to be placed sixth in the nine-team table.
