Tiwary conducted a live session on Facebook to shed light on certain concerns regarding the Ranji Trophy. “Bengal are playing their match against Kerala in an outdoor venue, not a stadium despite there being one built years ago. The dressing rooms are such that you cannot even strategise properly since our dressing room and the opposite team’s dressing room are so close to each other that you can hear what the others are saying. There is no privacy,” he said.

He also announced his decision to retire from Ranji Trophy after this season. “After the match against Bihar at Eden Gardens I will end my Ranji Trophy career...I want to announce that I started at Edens and will end my career there,” he said.
