Ranji Trophy 2016-17: Controversial player Rameez Khan selected for Madhya Pradesh
MPCA secretary Milind Kanmadikar also said that as long as the court does not convict him, no disciplinary action can be taken against Rameez Khan as per the MPCA constitution.
All-rounder Rameez Khan, who is facing the charges of killing a black buck, has been selected again in the Madhya Pradesh Ranji Trophy cricket team 2016-17. Khan was arrested in the case following which he was dropped from the team in the last season. He was subsequently released on bail. Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) two days ago announced 16-member squad which would be led by Devendra Bundela for the first two matches of Ranji Trophy. Rameez Khan debuted in First-Class cricket in 2011. So far he has played 26 First-Class matches for the state scoring 1,169 runs and taking eight wickets.
“The court has not yet convicted Rameez. He was selected in the team on the basis of his competence and performance. We are keeping an eye on the whole issue. Until the court convicts him we cannot punish him as per the rules,” said MPCA CEO Rohit Pandit when asked about Rameez’s selection.

Mehmood Khan too had been a part of the MP cricket squad in the past.
