Former India captain Virat Kohli and incumbent Test wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant have been named in Delhi's probables for the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2024/25 season.
In a move that aligns with BCCI's policy of bringing back established names to domestic cricket, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant, both Test regulars, have been named in Delhi and District Cricket Association's probables list for the Ranji Trophy.
At the senior selection committee meeting helmed by Gursharan Singh (chairperson), K Bhaskar Pillai (selector), Rajeev Vinaik (selector), Sarandeep Singh (chief coach) and Rajan Manchanda (joint secretary), an 84-member list was released on September 24.
Kohli and Pant are the first two names on the list of players who are expected to undergo a fitness test on September 26. However, the statement clarifies that players on international duty will be exempted from the fitness test. Starting September 27, Kohli and Pant are expected to feature in the second India-Bangladesh Test, scheduled to take place in Kanpur.
It's the first time Kohli and Pant have been named in Delhi's Ranji probables since 2019.
