This marks the inaugural captain of Gill in the North Zone in this prestigious competition, which returns to its traditional format.Writing for Sportstar, Gavaskar congratulated BCCI’s commitment to internal cricket, choosing it in relation to an international series of white balls.“It was therefore good to see that after the postponement of the Bangladesh tour, the BCCI resisted the pressure to send a team for a series of white balls to Sri Lanka this month,” wrote Gavaskar. “In doing so, the BCCI has prioritized domestic cricket, because it means that now most, otherwise all, the best players will be available to play in the Trophy Duleep tournament from Shubman Gill, Captaining the North Zone is a massive shot in the arm for this tournament.”Gavaskar also noted the exemplary nature of Gill’s commitment, declaring: “By being available for the tournament, the Indian skipper sends the right signal to the other members of the team.Regarding the absence of rapid quasses, Gavaskar supported the decision: “The quick quisors that do not play are a good reflection, because it was an unusually hot summer in England, thanks to global warming, and their energies had to be spent after the tireless spells they bordered throughout the series.”With the Asian Cup starting on September 9 at the same time as the Duleep trophy, the northern zone team could face changes if the players receive national calls. Currently, Gill’s participation considerably improves the prestige of the tournament. Despite his previous experience in 10 first class games, this responsibility presents a unique challenge in the management of a zonal team in direct elimination.
