He has also been named in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025
With Virat Kohli and KL Rahul set to play for Delhi and Karnataka respectively, another Indian star will also feature in the final league round in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season.
India spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who has been named in the upcoming IND vs ENG ODIs and the subsequent Champions Trophy 2025, will play for the Uttar Pradesh team for their match against Madhya Pradesh.
Notably, Kuldeep is returning after undergoing a groin surgery and the practice in match conditions will be helpful before he participates in the international games. He hasn’t played any competitive cricket in the interim with his last outing coming during India’s first Test against New Zealand in October last year.
