Yuvraj, Harbhajan Questions No Reserve Day Provision In Vijay Hazare Trophy

Veterans Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh questioned BCCI for not having a reserve day in the ongoing Vijay Hazare trophy

Team Punjab was denied a semi-final berth in the Vijay Hazare Trophy after rain stopped Punjab vs Tamil Nadu match in Alur (Karnataka) on Tuesday. Punjab had scored 52/2 in 13 overs while chasing a target of 175 against Tamil Nadu but unfortunately the rain interruption lead to Tamil Nadu securing their spot in the semis as they had more wins in league phase than their opponent. Veterans Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh questioned BCCI for not having a reserve day in the ongoing Vijay Hazare trophy. Yuvraj questioned the idea behind not keeping a reserve day and tweeted: "Again an unfortunate result for Punjab against TN in the Vijay Hazare tournament, again Punjab cruising and game abandoned due to bad weather, and on points, we don't go to semis! Why don't we have a reserve day? Or is it domestic tournament it doesn't really matter? @BCCI (sic)."

Earlier, Punjab cricketer Mandeep Singh had also expressed disappointment and said on Twitter: "Played outstanding cricket in the league stage in a very tough A/B group and qualified for the knock outs brilliantly. Now we're out of the tournament without even playing the quarter finals due to rain. #reallydisappointed #VijayHazareTrophy #punjabteam @BCCI (sic)."
