North Zone Coaches Drop Top Ranji Scorer Sangwan for Duleep Trophy Match
North Zone cricket coaches Ajay Sharma and Sarandeep Singh faced scrutiny after dropping Sanat Sangwan, the third-highest run-scorer in the previous Ranji Trophy season with 828 runs, from the Duleep Trophy quarter-final. Instead, they selected Yash Dhull, a former India U-19 captain with a modest 381 runs in the same season, despite Dhull's limited success in domestic red-ball cricket. The decision sparked debate, with DDCA officials attributing team selection to the coaches and noting Dhull's recent strong performances in the Delhi Premier League.
