Vijay Hazare Trophy: Star batters Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have been named in the list of probable players who will join the Delhi team for the upcoming edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Friday announced the list of probable players for the domestic competition.

Earlier this month, DDCA confirmed the availability of Kohli, with Pant expected to lend considerable depth and experience to Delhi’s batting order. Interestingly, BCCI has issued a diktat to players to remain available for domestic tournaments if not involved with international tours or recovering from an injury.

The Delhi team will feature in two Elite Group D games against Andhra and Gujarat at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The team is also set to play the last five games at the Alur Cricket Ground, located on the outskirts of Bengaluru, as Kohli is expected to play all his matches at this venue.

Kohli will come on the back of being Player of the Series in the 2-1 win over South Africa in the ODI series, while Pant will be itching to get some game time after being an unused player in the recent 50-over fixtures against the Proteas. 

The list of probables was finalised in a meeting of the senior men’s selection committee between selectors Yashpal Singh, K. Bhaskar Pillai, Manu Nayar, head coach Sarandeep Singh, CAC Chairman Vijay Dahiya, and Secretary Ashok Sharma. The list also includes the players selected for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where Nitish Rana-led Delhi failed to enter the knockouts after finishing in third place in Group D with 16 points.
