The Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) recently announced the senior men’s probable squad for the upcoming round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. International cricketers Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Harshit Rana have been included in the probable squad.

In the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 points table, Delhi are in fourth place in Group D of the Elite Group challenge with 14 points after five matches (one win, one loss, and three draws). In the group stage, Delhi have two matches left, against Saurashtra and Railways, starting on January 23 and 30, respectively. 

Both matches are must-win games for Delhi to stay in contention for the knockout stages of the tournament.

Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Harshit Rana are in Delhi's probable squad

Recently, the DDCA announced the complete probable squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy matches, where the international players Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Harshit Rana were also named. It was also mentioned that the international players' inclusions are subject to their availabilities. 

Rana is in Indian T20I squad, Kohli and Pant can serve for Delhi

Meanwhile, India are ready to host England in a five-match T20I series and then a three-match ODI series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the T20I squad, where the pacer Harshit Rana has been included. While the T20I series will start on January 22, Rana is likely to be unavailable for Delhi in the last two league-stage matches of the Ranji Trophy. 

Former Indian captain Virat Kohli already retired from T20I cricket, and Rishabh Pant has been rested from the T20I series. While both can be named for the ODI series, which will be a crucial preparation for Team India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, starting on February 19, they can play for Delhi in the upcoming Ranji Trophy matches. 

Kohli is struggling with the bat in the red-ball format, and the upcoming Ranji Trophy matches can boost his confidence before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
