Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have preferred to skip the game and will join the Test squad’s preparatory camp in Chennai ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh
Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Shreyas Iyer will lead the four teams that will compete in the Duleep Trophy, which will be played from September 5 to 22 in Bengaluru and Anantapur. The BCCI’s senior selection committee announced the squads on Wednesday (August 14, 2024), and the tournament will kickstart the Indian domestic season 2024-25.
Captain Rohit Sharma and veteran Virat Kohli – amid speculations about a rare domestic First Class appearance – have preferred to skip the game and will join the Test squad’s preparatory camp in Chennai ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh, starting September 19. The BCCI statement, while announcing the squads, clarified that the ones who will be picked in the Test squad will be replaced after the first round of games.
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant will return to first-class cricket for the first time in nearly two years since his life-threatening car crash. The wicketkeeper batter’s last red-ball game was in the second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur in December 2022.

Pant also marked his return to the one-day international set-up in Sri Lanka.
Apart from the Test regulars and performers in last year’s Ranji Trophy, Ishan Kishan – who lost his central contract for not featuring in domestic cricket alongside Shreyas – has also been selected.
