Vaibhav Sooryavanshi May Miss Agarkar's Duleep Trophy Assessment; It All Depends on Gautam Gambhir
South Zone strengthened its squad with three India internationals as selectors urged available national players to feature in the final.
- South Zone added India Test regulars Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, and Mohammed Siraj to their squad for the Duleep Trophy final against East Zone, scheduled for September 6–10 at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
- Apart from the three Test returnees, South Zone added left-arm pacer Millind to cover Karnataka pacer Vidhwath Kaverappa, who sustained an injury during the semifinal clash against North Zone that concluded on Wednesday.
- National selectors prefer that any available India player participate in the Duleep Trophy final, though participation for Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hinges on head coach approval regarding their T20I commitments.
- If the head coach mandates reporting as per the T20I itinerary, these players cannot compete; however, they remain eligible to play the final if they report to Delhi on the evening of September 10.
- The series against Afghanistan kicks off September 13 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, while Rahul, Padikkal, and Siraj have no competitive matches scheduled before the ODIs against West Indies on September 27.
