The upcoming edition of the Duleep Trophy, commencing on September 5, 2024, marks the commencement of red-ball cricket in the domestic season. This prestigious tournament will witness the participation of India's top international stars and promising young talents.
The tournament will feature the likes of Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, and Shubman Gill, who will be eager to showcase their skills and prepare for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. However, notable absentees include Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who will miss the domestic tournament.
Former India batter Suresh Raina has expressed his belief that the star players should have participated in the Duleep Trophy to gain valuable match practice ahead of the crucial Test series. Raina emphasized the importance of playing four-day cricket to acclimatize to the conditions and prepare for the challenges of Test cricket.
India will face Bangladesh in a two-match Test series starting on September 19. Raina cautioned against underestimating Bangladesh, highlighting their strong bowling attack and experienced players. He believes this series will serve as a valuable warm-up for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
The Legends League Cricket (LLC) will also take place in India and Qatar from September 11 to October 5, featuring former international stars.
