The cricket season of the Indian team is over. India had to face a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka in their last series. The new season will start after a break of 1 month, in which the team has to play many important series. The first series of the season will be played against Bangladesh. After this, Test series are to be played against New Zealand and Australia, which is very important in terms of the World Test Championship. During this time, head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma can be seen taking some big decisions. In such a situation, Duleep Trophy can prove to be a boon for some other players including Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. If you do not perform, you can be dropped from the team for a long time.

The first match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh will be played from September 19. But before that, the Duleep Trophy matches in India's domestic season will start from September 5. Almost all the players playing in the Test series are participating in it. Their selection will be decided on the basis of this performance. According to a report, the Indian team for the Test series will be announced after the first match of the Duleep Trophy.

The board will keep an eye on Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer who were dropped due to indiscipline. Rishabh Pant can also return as a wicketkeeper after injury. Apart from this, Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar, who made a splash on the Australia tour, are also strong contenders. Among the fast bowlers, Khalil Ahmed, Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar will present their claim.
