Vijay Shankar named Tamil Nadu Ranji Trophy captain

The Hindu  

After a gruelling selection meeting that began at 4 p.m. and ended at 7.30 p.m., the Tamil Nadu selectors, on Monday, named all-rounder Vijay Shankar as the Ranji Trophy captain for the season. The chairman of the selection panel, M. Senthilnathan, told Sportstar, “We are looking to take the team forward with two youngsters at the helm.” This was also a meeting where coach D. Vasu asked for R. Ashwin as skipper and Murali Vijay as vice-captain; both being vastly experienced at the international level. However, the selectors felt since Ashwin would leave for the Test series in New Zealand and thus miss the knock-out phase if Tamil Nadu qualified, the team was better off with one captain for the entire season. He is experienced in Ranji Trophy as well and has produced big knocks, taken vital wickets.” About the squad for the first two matches, both at home against Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh, Senthil said, “We have a balanced team.
