Duleep Trophy 2024 starts on 5 September and is expected to deliver high-quality cricket, featuring the finest talent in the Indian domestic circuit. The players will try to make the most of opportunities vying for spot in India’s Test Team.

Bench: Tanush Kotian, Avesh Khan, Vidwath Kaverappa, Kumar Kushagra, Shashwat Rawat
Shubman Gill, who has solidified his place at No. 3, is expected to play a crucial role. India A will likely open with the experienced pair of KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal. The team has a balanced lineup, featuring three batters who can also contribute with the ball. Kuldeep Yadav will be keen to get match practice before the Test season, while the pace attack will see rotation among Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, and Avesh Khan.

All eyes will be on Rishabh Pant as he returns to first-class cricket after his unfortunate accident at the end of 2022. The Khan brothers, Sarfaraz and Musheer, will bat around him, while Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy add depth as all-rounders. Expect to see changes with N Jagadeesan stepping in once Pant is unavailable.
