Duleep Trophy 2024: Full schedule, match dates and venues

The Duleep Trophy 2024 season is expected to be very interesting. This is because this time many big and legendary players playing for the Indian team will also take part in it. Even Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be seen playing in it. Only Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya have been exempted from this. Now since all the big players are playing, the question is also when will this tournament start. How many teams will participate in it and what is its complete schedule.

The tournament will start from September 5:

This year's Duleep Trophy will start from September 5. That is, next month. It will also conclude on September 19. Also, there will not be continuous matches in it. Four teams are participating in it. India A, India B, India C and India D. All the players of India will be divided in these four teams. This time senior players will also be a part of it, so there will be fewer opportunities for new and young players.

The first match will be between India A and India B:

The first match of Duleep Trophy will be played between India A and India B from 5th September. On the same day, India C and India D teams will also face each other. After this, on 12th September, along with India A and D, India B and C teams will also clash. On 19th September, India B and D will clash, while on the same day, India A and C teams will clash. That means every team will have to play three matches. The matches will be played for four days. The series between India and Bangladesh will start from 19th September, by then these matches will be over.

It is not yet decided which players will play in these four teams, it is expected that this will also be announced soon based on the availability of the players. Former Indian team captain Virat Kohli will be seen playing Duleep Trophy for the first time since 2015. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma has not played in this tournament since 2021. In such a situation, when these players will enter the field with new and young players, they will also get to learn something.
