The second round of Duleep Trophy starts today, eyes on Rinku Singh and Shreyas Iyer | News India

The second round of BCCI's domestic tournament Duleep Trophy is starting from Thursday. Some stars were seen playing in the first match.

Some of them have also been selected for the first match of the two-Test series against Bangladesh. However, some players like Rinku Singh were ignored by the selectors. Some players have been rested before the first Test against Bangladesh and in such a situation, all eyes will be on players like Rinku Singh and Shroyz Iyer in the second round.

Safraz Khan is the only player from the Indian team who will also play in the second round of the Duleep Trophy. Mayank Agarwal will captain the India-A team in place of Shubman Gill. After all, Mayank, who played his last Test in March 2022, will have to perform specially to strengthen his claim for selection in the national team. Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna could not play in the first round due to injury. He has been given a place in the India-A team. The India-B team will be led by Abhimanyu Easwaran who flopped in the first round last week. Washington Sundar is also in this team. India-C team openers Sai Sudarshan and Rituraj Gaikwad will also try to attract the attention of the selectors by scoring runs. After being dropped from the Test team, India-D captain Iyer will try to prove his usefulness. In such a situation, Devdutt Paddikal and Sanju Samson will also take the field to impress the selectors with their performance.
