Expectations:

This year's Duleep Trophy is highly anticipated due to the participation of several centrally contracted players, which is a push by the BCCI to ensure these players remain involved in domestic cricket. Notably, big names like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja are exempted from this edition due to their international commitments. The tournament is expected to be a proving ground for several players aiming to solidify or regain their spots in the national team.

The Duleep Trophy will be broadcast live on Sports18 and streamed on JioCinema, ensuring broad accessibility for cricket fans

Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the first round of the Duleep Trophy due to a groin injury sustained during the ongoing All-India Buchi Babu Tournament. The BCCI Medical Team is closely monitoring his recovery.

Batter Suryakumar Yadav will also miss the first round of the Duleep Trophy after injuring his right thumb while fielding in the All-India Buchi Babu Tournament.

Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna, who is nearing the end of his rehab following surgery on his left quadriceps tendon, will also miss the first round of the Duleep Trophy.
