The 2025 edition of the Duleep Trophy will begin on August 28, with North Zone taking on East Zone and Central Zone challenging NorthEast Zone. Two other teams, West Zone and South Zone, have already progressed to the semi-final by virtue of their dominance in India’s domestic circuit. In the meantime, all the matches of the tournament will be played in the BCCI Centre of Excellence Grounds in Bengaluru.
The upcoming edition of the Duleep Trophy holds extreme importance as the Indian team will for players that will fit in the system in the domestic season, as the Shubman Gill-led side will host South Africa and West Indies later in the year. Ahead of that, several players, including Tilak Varma, Devdutt Padikkal, Ishan Kishan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Mohammed Shami, Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel and Harsh Dubey, among many others, have been put on notice as their performance is very likely to be monitored.
Captain Gill has also been named in the North Zone squad, but it needs to be seen if the 25-year-old features against East Zone to keep himself fit for the Asia Cup.
