India’s domestic cricket season is set to begin with the Duleep Trophy 2024 tournament on September 5, 2024. India’s first-class red ball tournament of the year will be played in a new format, with four teams competing for ultimate glory. Established in 1961, the tournament is named after Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji, also known as Duleep, who played cricket for England.
The 2024 edition is expected to be one of the most star-studded, featuring several of India’s regular Test players, including KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, among others.
Duleep Trophy 2024: New Format
The Duleep Trophy was traditionally played in a zonal format, with players from across the nation divided into six zonal teams. However, for the 2024 edition, the BCCI has decided to discontinue the zonal format and instead opted for a four-team format, with the teams named A, B, C, and D. The tournament will be played in a round-robin format without any knockout matches, meaning the team with the most points at the end of the round-robin matches will be crowned the winners.
Duleep Trophy 2024 full schedule
For the 2024 edition of the Duleep Trophy, all four teams will play one match against each other, starting on September 15. The team with the most points will be crowned the winners at the end.
