Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, and Jasprit Bumrah will not be available for India's season-opening Duleep Trophy, which begins on September 5 as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. The teams for the tournament will be selected later this month by the panel led by Ajit Agarkar. However, most of the other centrally contracted players are expected to participate in the four-team competition.

Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah Out As Duleep Trophy First Round Match Shifts To Bengaluru

With some of the India regulars, except pacer Jasprit Bumrah and senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, likely to appear in the first round of the Duleep Trophy, the BCCI has decided to shift one of the opening matches from Anantapur to Bengaluru. Senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma also might get an exemption, and the choice of appearing in the tournament is entirely on them. The Duleep Trophy was earlier scheduled to kick-off with two sets of first round matches at Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh from September 5, but now one of those games has been shifted to the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here to reduce the logistical inconveniences.

"Not Being Able To...": Rahul Dravid Opens Up On Lowest Point Of His India Coaching Career

Former Indian coach and skipper Rahul Dravid opened up on his lowest point as Men in Blue's head coach, revealing it to be India's series loss to South Africa back in the 2021-22 season. Back in 2021-22, under Virat Kohli's captaincy, the Men in Blue had a serious chance to defeat the Proteas in a series at their home territory for the first-time ever. After a thumping 113 win at Centurion in the first Test, Men in Blue was expected to dominate the series. But with two seven wicket wins in the next two Tests, the Proteas earned a commendable come-from-behind triumph despite India dominating both matches at some point. This was Virat's last assignment as Test captain.
