The 2024 edition of the Duleep Trophy has grabbed the attention of everyone as BCCI announced star-studded squads for the first round of the four-team long-format tournament which kicks off from September 5 in Anantapura, Andhra Pradesh.

As many as 10 Indian Test team regulars, and a handful of international players are set to play in Duleep Trophy 2024. The first two rounds of matches in the tournament precedes India's two-Test series against Bangladesh, and therefore it's the perfect platform for all the participating sixty players to grab the attention of the selectors.

Team A will be captained by India opener Shubman Gill, who will lead a team which includes senior Karnataka batters Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul. Senior spinner Kuldeep Yadav is also part of the Team A squad for Duleep Trophy 2024.

Team C will be led by Maharashtra and India opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is part of this squad which includes youngsters Sai Sudharsan, Abishek Porel, and Umran Malik among others.

Team D will be led by star batter Shreyas Iyer. Some of the key players in his team are Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel, Devdutt Padikkal, KS Bharat and Arshdeep Singh.

Further, Abhimanyu Easwaran has been named the captain of Team B. The 27-year-old Bengal opener will lead a team consisting of Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Mukesh Kumar.
