Massive Changes In Duleep Trophy Squads: Several changes have been made to the four Duuleep Trophy squads as some of the players have been called up to the Indian Cricket Team for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh.
The ongoing Duleep Trophy had four teams, those being India A, B, C, and D. Several players who have already represented India or are on the periphery of the national team played in this competition. With over a month-long break between international games for India, BCCI announced that domestic tournaments, like this one, will be used to consider the team for the Bangladesh Tests.
After the first round of matches, which saw India A take on India B and India C face India D, the 16-man squad for the first Test, to be played in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium from September 19, has been announced, which is as follows:
India Squad for First Test Vs Bangladesh: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal

Many of these players, including India A captain Shubman Gill, have been called up to the national team. This means that all these players will not play in the second round of Duleep Trophy matches. This has resulted in several changes being made in the four squads for the competition.
One of the biggest changes is that Mayank Agarwal is the new captain of India A in Gill’s absence, with Pratham Singh being his replacement in the squad. Vidharba batter Akshay Wadkar will replace KL Rahuk, while U-19 batter SK Rasheed will replace Dhuriv Jurel. Kuldeep Yadav and Akash Deep will be replaced by Shams Mulani and Aaqib Khan.
