Badoni, Arya to miss Delhi's Ranji Trophy game after inclusion in India A squad for T20 WC warm-ups

Ayush Badoni & Priyansh Arya will miss Delhi's Ranji Trophy match vs Mumbai after being selected for India A's T20 World Cup warm-up games.

"Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya will not be playing in tomorrow's Ranji Trophy clash - Ashok Sharma, DDCA Secretary"

New Delhi, Jan 28

Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya will miss Delhi's final Ranji Trophy Elite Group D clash against Mumbai, starting at the BKC Ground on Thursday, after being named in the India A side for two warm-up matches of the Men's T20 World Cup.

India A are scheduled to face the USA at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on February 2 before taking on Namibia at the BCCI CoE Ground in Bengaluru on February 6 as part of the build-up to the Men's T20 World Cup happening in India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8.

Ashok Sharma, DDCA Secretary, told IANS that Ayush Doseja, the leading run-getter in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, will lead Delhi in the seventh round of the Ranji Trophy against Mumbai. While table-toppers Mumbai have already qualified for the knockouts, a depleted Delhi are at sixth place and aim to sign off from the domestic season on a high.

"Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya will not be playing in tomorrow's Ranji Trophy clash, as they have been named in the India A squad slated to play Men's T20 World Cup warm-up games against USA and Namibia in Navi Mumbai and Bengaluru, respectively.

"Ayush Doseja will captain Delhi in their Ranji Trophy game against Mumbai, as he's the highest run-getter in the tournament so far," said Sharma to IANS on Wednesday.

Badoni has previously featured in both four-day and List-A games for India A and will return to the India A setup alongside Arya, who has so far represented the side only in white-ball formats.

Earlier this month, Badoni received a maiden call-up to the Indian team when he replaced an injured Washington Sundar in the three-game ODI series against New Zealand. But Badoni, who trains at the iconic Sonnet Club in New Delhi, didn't get to play a game in the series, which India lost 2-1.

Delhi squad for Ranji Trophy game against Mumbai: Ayush Doseja (captain), Sanat Sangwan, Vaibhav Kandpal, Sumit Mathur, Pranav Rajvanshi, Siddhant Sharma, Dhruv Kaushik, Rahul Dagar, Anuj Rawat, Divij Mehra, Aryan Rana, Money Grewal, Rohan Rana, and Rahul Chaudhary

As a cricket fan, I understand the schedule clash, but it's a bit unfair to the Delhi team and their fans. The Ranji Trophy is the backbone of Indian cricket. These last-minute pulls weaken domestic sides. A more coordinated calendar is needed.

Good opportunity for Ayush Doseja to lead! He's been scoring runs consistently. Sometimes these situations create new leaders. All the best to the young Delhi squad against mighty Mumbai. Fight hard! 💪

Playing for India A against international sides (USA, Namibia) is far more valuable experience than a dead rubber Ranji game for Delhi. Correct decision by the selectors. This is how you build bench strength for the national team.

Sonnet Club producing another player! Badoni has been on the radar. Hope he gets a game this time. The competition for spots in the Indian white-ball teams is insane. Every chance counts.
