Jagaddeaesan, Devdutt Padikkal Blow for South Zone, named replacements

The southern area was treated with a star interpreter in the Narayan Jagadeesan semi-finals will not be part of the Duleep final of the Trophy. Tamil Nadu’s striker scored 249 points combined in semi-final 1 against the northern zone. The southern zone, led by Kerala Mohammed Azharuddeen in the absence of Tilak Varma, qualified for the final by the virtue of taking an advance of a first round against an exhausted northern zone.

No Jagadeaesan, Padikkal for the Dulep Final trophy

According to Cricbuzz, Jagadeesan and Devdutt Padikkal will not be part of the South Zone team for the Duleep final which will start on September 11. The two strikers were appointed to the India team for the two several days against Australia, which will start from September 16. Ajay Rohera and Aniker Reddy were appointed watch players

South Zone will greatly miss the services of their vice-captain Jagadeesan. He was the game player in the semi-finals against the northern zone. The Tamil Nadu striker has brought a little deserved double century in the 1st round when he was dismissed for 197 points. He remained unbeaten on 52 points in 2nd rounds.

Padikkal, on the other hand, has scored a 57 -point stroke. In the 2nd, he could only obtain 16 points before he was sent packages. While Jagadeesan has not yet made his debut in the test and has been appointed reserve caretaker for the Ind VS Eng 5th test, Padikkal is in the running for a place in the side, after having already done his test in testing last year.
