Senior players, including captain Rohit Sharma, top batsman Virat Kohli, pace leader Jasprit Bumrah, and premier spinner R. Ashwin, have been granted exemptions as the national selectors strike a balance between domestic form and emerging talent in the selection of squads for the Duleep Trophy, starting September 5 in Bengaluru.
The tournament will feature notable international stars such as Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, top all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel, wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, and pacer Mohammed Siraj. T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, who appeared in one Test against Australia in 2023, has also been included. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, a member of India’s T20 World Cup-winning team, will make his return to red-ball cricket following a serious car accident in 2022.
