Suyash Prabhudessai and Rinku Singh called up for second round of Duleep Trophy
After the BCCI announced the squad for the first Test of the Bangladesh series, there will be a major shake-up in the roster for the second round of Duleep Trophy. A couple of major additions to the squad will include the likes of Rinku Singh and Suyash Prabhudessai.
Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, Kuldeep Yadav and Akash Deep will be departing from India A and will be replaced by the likes of Pratham Singh, Akshay Wadkar, Shaik Rasheed, Shams Mulani and Aaqib Khan. Mayank Agarwal will captain India A in Gill’s absence, while Karnataka quick Vidwath Kaverappa, will be shifting to India D for the second round.
India B will also be missing out on quite a few superstars in Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant and Yash Dayal, with Suyash Prabhudessai, Himanshu Mantri and Rinku Singh come in their place. Sarfaraz Khan, who has been picked by the Indian cricket team for the first Test against Bangladesh, will continue to be a part of the India B squad.
India C won’t have any changes to their side while India D will be without the likes of Axar Patel and Tushar Deshpande with the latter being injured. Kaverappa will step up in place of Tushar while Nishant Sindhu will be joining the D squad in place of Axar.
