Rohit Sharma vs Virat Kohli likely as BCCI set to rejig historic tournament ahead of India vs Bangladesh Tests: Report

Hindustan Times  

Last Wednesday, India ended their white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, albeit on a forgettable note, with a 0-2 loss in the ODI series preceded by a 3-0 clean sweep in T20Is, and entered a rare 42-period break in international cricket until their next campaign in September. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will return to action during Bangladesh Test series next month According to a report in Indian Express, with an eye on the preparation for the Bangladesh Test series next month, which will be followed by a three-Test contest in October at home against New Zealand, BCCI's selection committee is likely to name India captain Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli for the Duleep Trophy, which will be played in a new format this season. In fact, the report added that with the selectors expecting spin-friendly tracks for the home series against Bangladesh, Bumrah is likely to be rested for the contest, given that Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action with an ankle injury since the ODI World Cup last year, closing in on return. Rohit Sharma vs Virat Kohli likely on cards With the Duleep Trophy no longer to be played in zonal format, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee will name four squads, India A, B, C and D, for the tournament, which will begin on September 5 and end on the 24th. It will surely add more intrigue among fans for the domestic tournament much like the presently-defunct Challenger Series that was played in 2005, where Sourav Ganguly represented India Seniors alongside MS Dhoni, and the duo were up against Virender Sehwag-led India B and Rahul Dravid's India A.
