Duleep Trophy is going to start from 5th September, for which four squads were recently announced for the initial round. Rinku Singh, the emerging player of Uttar Pradesh, did not get a place in it, which surprised the fans.
Rinku Singh has made his mark by playing brilliant innings in the recent past. The 26-year-old player himself revealed why he did not get a place in the initial round of Duleep Trophy. Rinku said that not being able to perform well in domestic cricket was the main reason for his not being selected.
This Kolkata Knight Riders batsman gained a lot of fame with his brilliant performance in IPL 2023. Only after this he was given a place in India's white ball team, in which he also proved to be a match winner for the team in many matches. However, he could not make it to the 60 cricketers selected by the BCCI for the Duleep Trophy. Recently this 26-year-old batsman gave a statement regarding this. He said that his poor performance in domestic cricket is the main reason behind this.
Rinku Singh told why he was not selected in Duleep Trophy: 'Nothing... I did not perform that well in the domestic season. I did not play many matches in the Ranji Trophy. I played only two or three matches. I was not selected because I could not play so well. I can be selected for the next round of matches.' In first class cricket, Rinku has played 47 matches and scored 3173 runs at a strike rate of 71.59. He has scored seven centuries and 20 half-centuries.
