The 2024-25 Indian domestic cricket season will begin with the Duleep Trophy, set to begin from Thursday, September 05.
The tournament will be held in a new avatar, with the zonal system being replaced with India A, B, C, and D, who will compete in a round-robin format that will not include any knockout games.
India D will be led by India batter Shreyas Iyer, who is eyeing a comeback to the national side after losing his BCCI central contract. Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, who was gunning for a similar shot at redemption, is unlikely to feature in the first-round match, which begins from Thursday.
Devdutt Padikkal, Shreyas and Ricky Bhui are likely to form the backbone of the middle-order, with KS Bharat slotting in the lower order and also donning the wicketkeeping gloves.
All-rounders Axar Patel and Saransh Jain will form the core of the spin unit while also adding heft to the batting line-up. The youthful pace trio of Arshdeep Singh, Tushar Deshpande and Harshit Rana makes India D a well-rounded and feisty unit.
