Kanhaiya Wadhawan named North Zone captain for Duleep Trophy; Arshdeep Singh included

India left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh was named in the North Zone squad for the Duleep Trophy starting August 23, while Jammu and Kashmir wicketkeeper-batter Kanhaiya Wadhawan was appointed captain of the 15-member team. Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj was also included in the squad.

Arshdeep, who is a regular in India's white-ball teams, was part of the Test squad during the 2025 tour of England but did not make his red-ball debut because of injury and team combination issues. Six players from Jammu and Kashmir's Ranji Trophy-winning side earned selection alongside Wadhawan.

Delhi has the second-highest representation with opener Sanat Sangwan, former captain Yash Dhull, middle-order batter Ayush Doseja and vice-captain Ayush Badoni included. North Zone will take on West Zone in Match 2 at the COE Ground 1 in Bengaluru for a spot in the semifinal.
