Read on to know about Duleep Trophy, Indian cricket tournament

Duleep Trophy

The Duleep Trophy, named after Kumar Shri Duleepsinghji, was launched by the BCCI to raise the level of competition in domestic cricket. The intention was to facilitate a proper assessment of the Indian players by ensuring their participation in premier domestic tournaments.

Duleep Trophy is played on a zonal basis - North Zone, Central Zone, East Zone, West Zone and South Zone are the teams participating in this prestigious tournament.

The original format envisaged a knock-out competition among the five zonal teams. However, from the 1993-94 season onwards the competition has been following a league format.
