India Retains Reserve Players for Sri Lanka Test, Duleep Trophy Features Young Talent
Ahead of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo, India’s team management, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill, has decided to retain reserve players Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi with the Test squad instead of releasing them for the concurrent Duleep Trophy. This move aims to ensure sufficient options for concussion substitutes during the match. Meanwhile, young player Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will participate in the Duleep Trophy quarter-final, seeking to gain experience in the longer format.
