Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will not play Duleep Trophy
There was a discussion about Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli that they will be seen playing in the Duleep Trophy. The reason for this was that the Indian team does not have any series at this time. The first test is to be played between India and Bangladesh from 19th September, before that these players could have played the Duleep Trophy, they would have got match practice, but now after the announcement of the teams, it has become clear that Rohit and Virat Kohli are not playing the Duleep Trophy. Apart from these, the names of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shardul Thakur and Hardik Pandya have also not been included in any squad.
