The BCCI has confirmed that key players Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Prasidh Krishna will be unavailable for the first round of the Duleep Trophy. The trio’s absence is due to prior commitments with the Indian national team in ongoing international series, which has resulted in them missing the initial phase of the prestigious domestic tournament.
The Duleep Trophy, a cornerstone of India’s domestic cricket calendar, provides an opportunity for emerging and established players to showcase their skills. The absence of Kishan, Yadav, and Krishna is expected to be felt, as all three have been in fine form and are considered pivotal figures in Indian cricket.
While their unavailability is a blow to their respective teams, it opens the door for other players to step up and make their mark. The BCCI remains confident that the trio will be available for later stages of the tournament, depending on their international schedule.
