Duleep Trophy: North Zone will be led by all-rounder Jayant Yadav in the next season.
Mandeep Singh, a seasoned batter, has been ruled out of the next Duleep Trophy due to an injury. Notably, Nehal Wadhera, who made an impression for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, has been picked as the North Zone substitute for the injured batter.
Wadhera was initially maintained as a standby for the North Zone, but he has since been confirmed to play for the team. In addition, all-rounder Jayant Yadav will captain North Zone this season. In a press statement issued on Thursday, June 22, Anirudh Chaudhry, convenor of the zonal committee, announced Mandeep Singh’s removal from the event.
“We were informed this morning by the Punjab Cricket Association that Mandeep Singh had been injured and would be unavailable for the Duleep Trophy. A video-conference was organised this evening with all the selectors of the North Zone Selection Committee, and the same was chaired by Chetan Sharma,” according to a press statement.
“Selectors deliberated on the matter and unanimously decided that Nehal Wadhera would be Mandeep Singh’s replacement.” “Because Mandeep Singh was captain of the team, the Committee chose Jayant Yadav to lead the North Zone team in the Duleep Trophy,” the notification continued.
The Duleep Trophy will begin India’s domestic cricket season.
The competition will kick off India’s domestic season in 2023-24. The matches will begin on Wednesday, June 28, with the summit battle on Wednesday, July 12.
