Duleep Trophy 2024: Full Schedule, Teams Squads, Match Dates & Timings, Venue And Live Streaming Details
Duleep Trophy 2024: The much-anticipated Duleep Trophy 2024-25 is scheduled to begin on September 5, 2024, marking the commencement of India’s domestic cricket season for 2024-2025. This edition of the tournament holds particular importance, as it will serve as a crucial preparatory platform for Indian cricketers vying for a place in the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh later this month.
The competition will feature several top Indian players, including KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who are all keen to secure their spots in the Test squad.
In a significant change, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has revamped the tournament’s format, moving away from the traditional zonal structure to a new four-team setup. Teams A, B, C, and D will compete in a round-robin format, with the team accumulating the most points by the end of the tournament being declared the winner. Notably, this season will not feature any knockout stages.
The tournament will be held across three venues: the Rural Development Trust Stadium and ACA ADCA Ground in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, and the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The event will conclude on September 22.
To help the national team prepare better, the BCCI has required domestic players to take part in the tournament. However, top players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravichandran Ashwin have been excused to avoid any risk of injury before the Bangladesh series.
This season’s captains include Shubman Gill (Team A), Abhimanyu Easwaran (Team B), Ruturaj Gaikwad (Team C), and Shreyas Iyer (Team D). In a recent development, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been released from the Team B squad, with the BCCI yet to announce his replacement. Additionally, Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik will miss the tournament due to illness, with Navdeep Saini and Gaurav Yadav stepping in as their replacements.
