Manoj Tiwari: Bengal is on the verge of being eliminated from the league stage of the ongoing Ranji Trophy (Ranji Trophy 2023-24). Bangabrigade is losing the away match against Kerala. In such a situation, Manoj Tiwari created a blast on social media. But his message can also be called a ‘mini blast’. He indicated that he would open his mouth against BCCI. Because the Bengal captain did not reveal much about the match.

Bengal’s Ranji Trophy 2023-24 Campaign in Trouble: Manoj Tiwari’s Social Media Outburst Causes Stir

However, it is written in his X handle, ‘Ranji Trophy should be given from the next season!’ A lot of things are going wrong in this tournament. This tournament has such a rich tradition, something must be done now to save it. The importance and enjoyment of this tournament are decreasing. Very disappointing.’

Of course, he didn’t stop there. Shortly after that tweet, he went live on Facebook. There is a lot to say. What is happening to a traditional tournament like the Ranji Trophy is unacceptable. But I don’t want to tell the whole story yet. Because our match is going on. And there are some guidelines of BCCI. “We all need to live up to that.”

But without revealing everything, what Manoj said in a few words is a ‘mini blast’. The venue of the match against Kerala is not eligible to host the Ranji Trophy. The experienced batsman, who played 12 ODI and 3 T20 matches for Team India, said this clearly. He said, “We are playing against Kerala in Thumba. The match took place on this ground after almost five years. Completely open field. This also includes the hideous dressing room. The condition of the dressing room on this ground is such that team meetings are not possible with teammates! Cannot speak in a slightly louder voice. Because those words will travel to the opposing team in no time! Overall it is a very bad situation. BCCI will have to think about these.”

After this Manoj again said, ‘But I am not a slave who should remain silent because of this.’ We will play the last match of this season’s league against Bihar at Eden Gardens. That was the last match of my first-class career. I should say what I said after that match. Because I don’t get anything from anyone. No matter what anyone thinks of me, I will not remain silent. Because I don’t get anything from anyone.”

Bengal will face Bihar on its home ground from February 16. Will Manoj create an even bigger blast by playing the last match of his career? Just have to wait for a few more days.
