Hello Cricket fans..
Well the indian domestic cricket season has started with duleep trophy currently on going where the states are divided in 6 zones .. Best players from their respected state zones get selected for their zone for duleep trophy..
Why duleep trophy is important tournament for indian domestic cricket you may ask?
Best performing players in duleep trophy gets chance to represent in India A (Red Squad) or India B (Blue Squad) which makes them play with Indian current team squad and gets to tour with them and play matches.. in short it is important for indian cricketer to get selected in duleep trophy in order to represent india..
and the competiton is really tough as only the best players from each zone gets selected here..
Duleep trophy is a 5 day test match tournament india is looking for young players to represent india in test squad and i feel exprimentation is gonna happen in indian test cricket team when they play agianbst weaker teams so i do feel the best performers in this tournament will get chance to play for india..
Now lets see what all zones are there in semi finals now and their squad..
Central Zone - includes players from states
(Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Railways, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand) and Vidarbha)Here is the Central zone team for duleep trophy..
Rinku SIngh,Shivam Mavi ,Dhruv Jurel and Avesh Khan is key players here for Central zone team.. North Zone - Includes player from states

South Zone is strong candidate to go in to finals and many great domestic players...
Here is the list of South Zone Team..
Mayank Agrawal,Sai Sudarshan,Sachin Baby,Tilak Varma,Hanuma Vihari,Washington Sundar,KS Bharat,Sai Kishore this team is power packed ...West Zone - Includes Players from states..

West Zone is probably the finest zone in indian domestic cricket as they are duleep trophy defending champions..
and its gonna be exciting to see these set of players playing for West Zone also the same zone where i come from..
Prithvi Shaw,Pujara,SKY,Arpit vasavda,sarfaraz khan,chetan sakariya,dharmendra jadeja & Arzan Nagaswalla these are fantastic bunch of players and the strongest team in Duleep trohy this year...Now that you know the teams and players lets see the semi final match up...

Both the semi final matches starts on the day after tomorrow on 5th july..
Semi-Final | 1 West Zone VS Central Zone
its gonna be intresting match up... West Zone are favourites to win the tournament but Central zone has players like rinku singh Dhruv Jurel avesh khan and their captain Shivam mavi you never know they can upset if West Zone dont score big or unable to take quick wickets..I am going for the West zone for this match...
Semi Final 2 | South Zone VS North Zone
Another big clash among some great player of indian domestic scene..
South Zone are favourites to win this match and go in to the finals ..
as all 3 matches semi fianls and finals gonna happen in Bangaluru and Alur i feel South ZOne has advantage of home condition and also their team is quite solid on paper..
Its gonna be intresting North Zone is surely underdog but one good big inning from either Mandeep SIngh,Manan Vohra or prabhsimran singh and they can upset south zone..
still though i am going with SOuth Zone for this match..
Whats your pick guys and which zone do you think gonna win this tournament by looking at the Teams ?
Do give your vote in poll and comment down your favourite team and player you would watch out for?
I feel the indian cricket team selectors gonna keep close eye on few players to get them in test team..
