Sourav Ganguly, the chairman of BCCIs technical committee, has said his committee didnt make the decision to reschedule the two postponed Delhi fixtures. Gangulys claims contradict those of the BCCI, which had suggested the technical committee had taken the decision.The Technical Committee of the BCCI recognised the extraordinary circumstances prevailing in Delhi and decided to reschedule the Ranji Trophy 2016-17 fifth round matches between Hyderabad-Tripura and Gujarat-Bengal after the first two days of play were lost due to smog conditions in New Delhi, the BCCI had stated in its press release dated November 6.Ganguly, however, maintained the technical committee had little to do with the decision. This was not decided by technical committee. This was put forward to the technical committee by BCCI, he told ESPNcricinfo. However, when pointed out the BCCI couldnt have made the decision had his committee not agreed to it, Ganguly said: yes, true.While ESPNcricinfos attempts to contact BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke didnt yield a response, a board source said it was a collective decision to reschedule the matches and that due process was followed.The decision to reschedule the fixtures meant the Group A clash between Gujarat and Bengal and the Group C game between Hyderabad and Tripura would now be played four days after the completion of the final round, from December 15 to 18, in Visakhapatnam and Kolkata respectively. This move led to protests from the Mumbai Cricket Association and the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association against the unfair advantage extended to the teams playing in the rescheduled games.TNCA secretary Kasi Viswanathan had said the matches in question shouldnt be rescheduled, and that the points should be shared retrospectively. In a league stage you cannot do this; it will be a disadvantage to the other teams. It is an act of God, and you should have only shared points, he told ESPNcricinfo.Ganguly, however, defended the decision and said it was made before the permutations for the knockouts came into the picture. The decision was done then only, at the start of the season, which was two or three matches old, he said. If you look at the start of the Ranji season there are some teams who started early, some teams who started late. I dont know how it gives them unfair advantage; you still have to win a cricket match. Gujarat, in any case, will qualify because they have beaten everyone.Mumbai currently lead the standings in Group A with 26 points, while Gujarat, with 21 points, are two points behind second-placed Tamil Nadu. In Group C, the top-three teams are separated by only three points. While table-topper Andhra and third-placed Haryana have two more matches remaining, Hyderabad has an extra game against Tripura, who are in the bottom half.The rescheduling of games has also forced BCCI to push back the knockout matches. The quarter-finals, initially scheduled to begin on December 17, will now be held from December 24 to 28. The semi-finals were moved from December 27 to January 3, while the final, originally set to be played from January 7, will now take place from January 12 to 16.

DETROIT -- Matt Boyd is more focused on the present than the future.The young left-hander is making a strong case to be counted on for inclusion in the Detroit Tigers 2017 rotation.He understands that goal can best be served by pitching well enough to remain a Detroit starter through the end of the season, which so far he has done exceedingly well.Boyd (5-2, 3.98 ERA) starts Monday night against the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park in the opening of a three-game series. Detroit holds an 8-5 edge over Chicago so far.When you start looking within your division, we havent played (that well), White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. You have to be able to reverse that, find a way to be able to win those games.Games like (Saturday night, 9-3 win over Seattle) can help. But you want to be able to do that within your division.We have some tough teams within the division as well, teams that can pitch, and Detroit, offensively, thats a tough team. You have to be able to stop them and you have to be able to score just like they do.Boyd has allowed three runs or less in each of his last eight starts, going 5-0 with a 2.38 ERA since July 9. Boyd has started twice against the White Sox this season, the only times he has faced them, without a decision and a 7.27 ERA.Hell be tasked with stopping a two-game Detroit slide that followed a five-game winning streak as the Tigers lost to the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, 5-0.Boyd, Daniel Norris and Michael Fulmer give Detroit three young pitchers in their rotation and the trio do their workouts together, dissect their performances with one another and push one another to exceed expectations.While those three might get pushed back in the Tigers rotation after Thursdays day off, Wednesdays starter, Justin Verlander, is probable to pitch in turn through Septembber.ddddddddddddIf the team wants me to go on regular rest, Verlander said, I think thats a big benefit of having a guy thats been a workhorse for a long time. Im going to be honest with Brad and tell him if Im good to go or not.Im happy to do it. As long as I feel stay feeling good, Im good to go.The White Sox have veteran James Shields (5-16, 5.98 ERA) set for the opener.His ERA with Chicago is 7.49 in 15 starts but for August its 13.95 in five outings. Hes faced the Tigers three times this season, going 0-2 with a 7.88 ERA.The right-hander has had mixed results against Detroit over the years. In 22 starts, he is 7-8 with a 4.53 ERA.The White Sox have been looking at the future since the All-Star break, if not before.On Friday they traded catcher Dioner Navarro to Toronto in exchange for a young minor league left-hander, Colton Turner.The White Sox activated former Tiger Alex Avila from the disabled list but instead of backing up Navarro, Avila will be behind Omar Narvaez.As we talked about, Chicago GM Rick Hahn said. Omar has done a nice job putting himself on the map playing a role here over the next few years. And this should likely give him a few more opportunities over the next four or five weeks to play on a regular basis.Chicago will bring up a third catcher for flexibility when rosters expand but he isnt likely to get many looks.There are some options in the pipeline, Hahn said. But certainly heading into this offseason, we are going to find a di
