Last year, the BCCI decided that they’d scrap the zonal system, which divided 38 domestic teams into six zones. Instead, BCCI opted for four India teams: A, B, C, and D.
Now, BCCI decided they would get back to the zonal system. The zonal teams (North, East, North East, Central, West, and South) will be back. This means that more domestic performers will get a chance. And the number of Test cricketers who can participate can be increased as well. The move was confirmed in March after an BCCI Apex Council meeting, and it’ll be enacted now.
