The 2024-25 Duleep Trophy is set to commence from September 5, featuring a revamped format with four teams competing in a round-robin structure. This year’s tournament will be hosted across three venues and promises to deliver exciting first-class cricket action as teams vie for the prestigious title.

Format and teams

The tournament will feature a total of six matches, with each team – India A, India B, India C and India D – playing three matches against the others. The winner will be determined based on points accumulated throughout the round-robin stage, with no knockout matches scheduled.

The four teams will be captained by Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer, respectively.

The Duleep Trophy continues to be a significant event in the Indian domestic cricket calendar, providing a platform for players to showcase their talent and potentially earn selection for the national team.

The BCCI has mandated domestic player participation in the 2024-25 Duleep Trophy. However, key figures like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin have been granted exemptions to safeguard their fitness for the upcoming Bangladesh series.
