Duleep Trophy 2024 Full Official Squad List for All 4 Teams
Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad among the leaders as we look at the full official squad list for all 4 teams for Duleep Trophy 2024.
The Indian team is currently on a big break from International cricket, and all players are having a relaxed time away from the game. The last Tournament that India played was against Sri Lanka, and the next tournament that India is going to play is in September which is almost a month away, and that is the India vs Bangladesh 2024 Test series.
It’s been more than 6 months since India last played a Test match, and that was against England. Given the gap in playing Test cricket, and the focus on T20s off late, it’s important for players to get in the groove for the Red-ball format, and for that, BCCI has asked most of their key Red-ball players to participate in the Duleep Trophy 2024.
Duleep Trophy as we know is a Premier first-class tournament in India. The original format involved teams from different regions representing their teams like North Zone, West Zone, South Zone, etc. But BCCI recently changed the format, and divided the teams into Team A, Team B, Team C, and Team D. There are no pre-defined criteria as to how the teams are formed, and it is up to BCCI to select the players in the respective teams.
Duleep Trophy 2024 Official Squad List for All 4 Teams
A total of four teams shall be a part of the 2024 Duleep Trophy. The BCCI is keeping most of the players who are in contention for the upcoming Red-ball series. So, you see the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, etc., who rarely play any Domestic Cricket anymore. Even the leadership will see a lot of senior Indian players in the tanks.
