New Delhi: The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has selected its squad for the future Ranji trophy And, while the list is not yet formal, it is understood that the state’s cricket body is set to announce the 25-aged Jumbo contingent for the first two games. Delhi will open the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 campaign in the match against Hyderabad from October 15, and will then play their first contest at Arun Jaitely Stadium against Himachal Pradesh from October 25.At a Senior Election Committee meeting held on Thursday, Ayush Badoni was given the Captain’s testimony, with Yash Dhull being named his deputy for the first two games. Rishabh Pant has also been included and will lead the team as soon as he gets release from Bcci Medical team. Interestingly, Yashpal Singh’s election panel, KP Bhascar, Manu Nayyar has selected four wicketkeepers for two games.
Keep in mind that the selection of squads is a rushing exercise that the group may not play a practice game or have a match simulation. There are only networks and ordinary options made on the basis. The main reason for the match is not the DDCA delay in finalizing a list of support staff for the coming season.After a lot of discussions and disputes among some of the former and current office carriers, the Jumbo list was released but only occurred on September 27 – just weeks before the senior squad should be finalized and a few days before the U -19 men and the T20 Team were selected. The list raises many questions as Kshitiz Sharma, who played for Delhi until last year, has been appointed Batting Trainer for Ranji Trophy. Sharma plays only a few games for Delhi and tapped like India’s former Indian as a cricket and domestic stalwart Robin Bisht, who had to complete the role with the U-19 team. There are many issues in the U-19 team selection as well as the Senior Office carrier intervention restored order before the team is left for remote tasks.As of the Ranji Trophy squad, Nitish Rana, who moved to Delhi this year, has been surprising in the Badoni -led squad.Before moving to Uttar Pradesh, Rana was not considered for the red cricket by Delhi voters and Southpaw could not go as a professional at UP as well. When asked about his election, DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma said he scored in the state T20 League – DPL. It can be the first time a four -day cricket is based on the T20 Championship.“Nitish Rana is an experienced player and he scored in DPL,” Sharma said.When asked about choosing more than 20 players, Sharma argues that the addition is only backup but confirms that they will be traveling with the team. Like the BCCI guidelines, only 15 were housed in the field on the day of the match and the break was asked to stay at the hotel. This has become an old practice in DDCA where they continue to choose the big squad and a huge contingent travel even for a long games.“They are backups, but according to BCCI guidelines they will not go to the ground, they will stay at the team hotel but will continue to receive daily allowances that other players get,” Sharma added.

Do you agree with the Nitish Rana selection in the Ranji Trophy squad?
Delhi has struggled in the domestic circuit and has not yet performed a show that should be noted in recent years. The selection of the team continues to be a mess and internal conflict never allows the cricket to take the front seat. Current and former offices continued to oppose BCCI guidelines and even after the scary e -Mel of President Rohan Jaitley in 2023, nothing changed in a cricket body.In fact, the first election meeting of this year was a rioting business as a group of office carriers that Sharma Secretary wanted to leave the Election Meeting Room. The first meeting of the season was postponed many e -mel later, Sharma continued to attend the meeting followed. He was in the room today with the secretary of Amit Grover when Ranji’s squad was selected.The DDCA will upload the squad soon and there may be a last minute renovation.
