The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it mandatory for domestic players to participate in this year's Duleep Trophy. However, Virat Kohli, captain Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin are exempt to avoid any injuries before the important Test series against Bangladesh.
Many big names are set to feature this season, like KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh and Rishabh Pant. The idea is to get the best Indian squad for the upcoming international Test season.
Gill will lead India A which also has KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and Dhruv Jurel in the squad. India B will be led by veteran domestic player Abhimanyu Easwaran. India C will be captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad whereas this year's IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer will lead India D.
Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik have been released from their respective squad after illness. The veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was released by BCCI from his squad without any given reason.
