Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj named in North Zone Duleep Trophy squad
Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj have been included in North Zone's Duleep Trophy squad led by Kanhaiya Wadhawan.
Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh and Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj have been named in the North Zone squad for the upcoming Duleep Trophy. Jammu and Kashmir wicketkeeper-batter Kanhaiya Wadhawan will captain the 15-member side with Delhi's Ayush Badoni as vice-captain.
The selectors rewarded Jammu and Kashmir with six players following their historic Ranji Trophy triumph. The squad also includes opener Qamran Iqbal, all-rounder Abdul Samad, left-arm spinner Abid Mushtaq, pacer Sunil Kumar and fast bowler Yudhvir Singh.
Delhi has the next highest representation with opener Sanat Sangwan, former skipper Yash Dhull, middle-order batter Ayush Doseja and Badoni. The tournament begins on August 23.
CricHubb Take
The inclusion of two white-ball specialists in a red-ball tournament shows selectors are willing to back players who can contribute across formats rather than waiting for traditional red-ball form.
