The Indian domestic cricket season is all set to begin with one of its most prestigious tournaments – the Duleep Trophy 2025, which kicks off on August 28 at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, Bengaluru.
After experimenting with a four-team format last season, where squads were picked by national selectors, the tournament is back to its traditional zonal format this year. Six zones of Indian domestic cricket – North, East, West, South, Central and North East – will compete for supremacy.
South Zone and West Zone earned a direct place in the semifinals as they were the finalists of the 2023 edition, while the remaining four zones will battle it out in the quarterfinals.
North Zone and East Zone will battle out in the first quarterfinal, whereas Central Zone will be up against the North East Zone in the other quarterfinal, which will be played simultaneously at the Centre of Excellence facility in Bengaluru.
