Strong Rest Of India to be announced

Most of India’s Test regulars are likely to be picked in the Rest of India squad for the Irani Trophy match against Delhi, the reigning Ranji Trophy champions. With India not playing any international cricket till the Australia Test series next month, the selectors will probably choose the best available team for the domestic season opener from September 24-28.

Anil Kumble, India’s Test captain, is likely to lead a strong squad full of superstars. Usually, the selectors use the Irani Trophy as a platform for upcoming talent to display their prowess, but this time they are averse to including new faces since the match will be the ideal warm-up for India’s players before the first Test against Australia, which begins in Bangalore on October 9. In all probability, they will retain the Test side, with replacements for the players from Delhi, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma who will be turning out for the champions.
