Delhi: The Indian domestic cricket season has started with the Dalip Trophy 2025. This time this tournament is being played in zonal format. In the first round, the North Zone vs. East Zone and Central Zone vs. North East Zone are taking place. However, Central Zone captain Dhruv Jurael and East Zone captain Abhimanyu Ishwaran are not playing in this match. Both players are not fully fit, so the selectors have given them rest.

Why Dhruv Jurael got rest?

According to TOI report, Dhruv Jurlel suffered a minor injury to the waist before the match. He is on the standby list of the Asia Cup and the team management does not want to take any risk. This year, India has to play four Tests on the home ground and the situation is still not clear regarding Rishabh Pant’s fitness. In such a situation, it is important for Jurael to be fully fit.

Ish Ishwan got flu

Abhimanyu Ishwaran recently visited England, where the Test series between India and England was equal to 2-2. Ishwaran was part of the Test team, but did not get a chance to play. The Duleep Trophy was a good chance for him to prove himself, but he got flu before the match.

Who is doing the captaincy?

The Central Zone is now captained by Dhruv Jurael, the batsman of Madhya Pradesh Rajat Patidar. RCB, led by Patidar, won the IPL 2025 title. At the same time, the command of the East Zone is in the hands of Ryan Parag, who has captained Rajasthan Royals this year.
