Nitish Rana Dropped From Delhi Squad For Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

Former captain Nitish Rana was on Friday dropped from Delhi's 16-member squad for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, beginning on November 14. The 32-year-old batter, who was part of Kolkata Knight Riders' IPL-winning squad in 2024, had led Delhi in the previous edition of the domestic T20 tournament, where the side failed to progress beyond the group stage. The Ayush Badoni-led squad has been bolstered by the inclusion of India pacer Mayank Yadav, who featured in two matches of the five-match T20I series against New Zealand and returned figures of 3/48 in the fourth game.

Mayank will join Harshit Rana and veteran pacer Ishant Sharma.

Delhi have been placed in Elite Group B alongside Bihar, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Railways, Saurashtra and Tamil Nadu. All Group B matches will be played in Indore.

Delhi will open their campaign against Jammu and Kashmir on November 14.

Delhi squad: Ayush Badoni (captain), Priyansh Arya, Sarthak Ranjan, Yash Dhull, Ayush Doseja, Tejasvi Dahiya (wicketkeeper), Anuj Rawat (wicketkeeper), Himmat Singh, Mayank Rawat, Keshav Dabas, Suyash Sharma, Digvesh, Ishant Sharma, Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav and Simarjeet Singh.
