East Zone team announced
Ishaan Kishan, who has scored two half -centuries in two innings for Nottinghamshar in the County Championship Division One, has been made the captain of the 15 -member team. Star players like Akash Deep, Mukesh Kumar and Ryan Parag will play under his captaincy. At the same time, the responsibility of vice -captain has been given to the veteran Bengal batsman Abhimanyu Ishwan. Abhimanyu Ishwaran is currently part of the squad of the Indian Test team on the tour of England.
Abhimanyu Ishwaran has been knocking on the doorstep of the Indian Test team for a long time, but has not been able to get a chance to debut yet. In such a situation, this tournament is very important for him. He stayed on the bench in the current Test series against England, but his continuity and great performance in domestic cricket made him the vice -captain of East Zone this time. This opener of Bengal has introduced his technique and patience on many occasions before. Now he will try to draw the attention of the National Selectors by proving his ability on this platform.
