Coverage of Duleep Trophy
Duleep Trophy is played on a zonal basis - North Zone, Central
Zone, East Zone, West Zone and South Zone battle out for this
prestigious tournament. Last season saw England A team taking part
in this tournament. The season before this saw a big experiment in
the tournament format as BCCI decided to have this tournament for
the best available players in the country who were divided into
Elite A , Elite B, Plate A and Plate B. This tournament is played
in a four-day format. The 2003-2004 Duleep Trophy was more
interesting with the inclusion of the visiting England A
side.
