The squad also features Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Saransh Jain, who recently earned his maiden India Test call-up for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour. Central Zone will enter the tournament directly at the semi-final stage after winning last year's edition and will begin their campaign on August 30 at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
Star Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter and vice-captain Rinku Singh has been named Patidar's deputy, adding further experience to the batting unit. The squad also includes promising Vidarbha opener Aman Mokhade, who impressed during the previous Ranji Trophy season with 760 runs in 11 innings. Mokhade was recently part of the India A squad that toured Sri Lanka and made a useful contribution during the unofficial Test series.
Saransh Jain and Yash Thakur headline Central Zone's Duleep Trophy squad
Fresh from receiving his maiden India Test call-up, Saransh Jain has been included in the Central Zone squad and is expected to play a key all-round role. His ability to contribute with both bat and off-spin makes him an important member of the side heading into the tournament.
The selectors have also continued to show faith in wrist-spinner Zeeshan Ansari, who recently returned to first-class cricket after a long gap. Ansari was part of India's preparations as a net bowler for the Afghanistan Test earlier this year before travelling with the India A squad to Sri Lanka, where he featured in the unofficial Test series.
