Services claim administrative slip up

The Board of Control for Cricket in India's decision to ban the Service's team for the entire Ranji Trophy season has brought out the expected reaction.

The Indian Express reports that 

The Services team later apologised to the BCCI for the “administrative slip up” and sought new dates — it transpires that the team acted on an alert put out by the Military Intelligence after a security assessment, not corroborated by other intelligence agencies, warned of a militant plan to mingle with spectators and disrupt the match at the Sher-e-Kashmir stadium in Srinagar.

The apology confirms my long standing view that Indian cricket is in the 'right hands'.:)
