About The Duleep Trophy 2024:
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has overhauled the Duleep Trophy format and shifted from the traditional zonal structure to a new four-team setup. Teams A, B, C, and D will compete in a round-robin format, with the team that accumulates the most points by the end of the tournament will be declared the winner.

Players missing:
Aside from the top Indian cricket stars, there have been some recent updates regarding the squad. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been released from Team B, and his replacement has yet to be announced. Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik will miss the tournament due to illness, with Navdeep Saini and Gaurav Yadav stepping in as their replacements.
Ishan Kishan's participation is also uncertain, with the exact reason for his potential withdrawal still unclear. However, Cricbuzz suggests that he may be dealing with an injury. Sanju Samson, who was initially left out of all four teams, is likely to be included as Kishan's replacement.
