Indian domestic cricket’s prestigious tournament Duleep Trophy has always carried great pride and history. In the upcoming 2025 season, the competition makes its return in the traditional zonal format, bringing together top talents from across the country. For many youngsters, this is more than just a competition—it’s a golden opportunity to step into the selectors’ radar ahead of the big international assignments.
Last year, the tournament was contested between India A, B, and C teams, with Mayank Agarwal’s India A lifting the title after beating India C by 132 runs. However, this season promises a stronger sense of regional rivalry, something that makes the Duleep Trophy truly special for fans and players alike.
Who gets a head start?
Based on their performances in the previous zonal edition, South Zone and West Zone have been rewarded with direct entries into the semi-finals. South Zone will lock horns with the winner of North Zone vs East Zone, while West Zone awaits the victor of Central Zone vs North East Zone.
