New Delhi, October 18
Ravichandran Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane have been named in the squads for the Deodhar Trophy beginning October 23 with a slight tweak in the format.
The tournament remains a three-team affair but it will not feature Vijay Hazare Trophy champions this time. Instead, India A, B and C, captained by Dinesh Karthik, Shreyas Iyer and Rahane respectively, will fight for the title.
The presence of India Test regulars like Rahane and Ashwin is not a surprise as they both have been out of India’s limited-overs set-up. Prithvi Shaw, who made a successful Test debut against the West Indies, will play for India A. India A captain Karthik too will have a point to prove after being dropped from the national team for the first two ODIs against the West Indies. — PTI
