The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made changes in the round of Duleep Trophy. Earlier it was to be held in Anantapur, but now it has been decided to hold it in Bengaluru. Apart from fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah and experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, some other star players of India are expected to participate in this tournament. However, senior batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may be exempted. The decision to participate in the tournament will be left entirely to them.
For Duleep Trophy 2024 Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin along with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are expected to not play domestic tournaments. At the same time, there is full hope for Indian team's fast bowler Mohammed Shami that he may get a chance to play in one match after being fully fit, so that his match fitness can be proved. Currently, Mohammed Shami is on the rehab stage at NCA (National Cricket Academy) in Bengaluru. Last week, he has gradually included more bowling workload in his routine.
