MUMBAI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced the return of domestic cricket in India -- for the upcoming 2021-22 season -- with a total of 2,127 domestic games to be played across various age groups in the men's and women's categories.

As per the media advisory from BCCI, the season will commence on September 21 with the Senior Women's One Day League and will be followed by the Senior Women's One Day Challenger Trophy, which will take place from October 27.

The men's tournaments will start with the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The T20 event will kickstart on October 20 with the final to be played on November 12.

The coveted Ranji Trophy, which was cancelled last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will be played in a three-month window from November 16 to February 19, 2022.

The Vijay Hazare Trophy will take place from February 23, 2022, to March 26, 2022.

"The BCCI is confident of hosting the domestic season with health and safety of players and all people involved being paramount," the governing body said in an official statement.
