The Duleep Trophy 2025 has hit early turbulence as East Zone's preparations have suffered a double setback. Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been ruled out of the opening match, while fast bowler Akash Deep has been advised rest due to fitness concerns. Both developments were confirmed by the East Zone team management ahead of their first fixture, leaving the squad with significant changes to make at the last minute.
Ishan Kishan's Absence
Ishan Kishan, one of the biggest names in the East Zone lineup, was expected to play a pivotal role at the top of the order and provide stability behind the stumps. However, medical advice has ruled him out of the opener. While the team has not disclosed the exact nature of his setback. It is believed to be a precautionary measure to ensure his long-term fitness.
Kishan's absence is a major blow, considering his recent form in the domestic circuit. His aggressive batting style and experience of playing international cricket would have given East Zone an edge. With the Asia Cup and other international assignments around the corner, the BCCI is taking no chances with the wicketkeeper-batter's workload.
Akash Deep Rested
In another worrying development, speedster Akash Deep has also been sidelined for the opening clash after being advised rest. The Bengal pacer has been an integral part of East Zone's bowling plans. Especially with his ability to swing the new ball and generate pace on flat tracks. His absence leaves the bowling unit short of experience.
Akash Deep has been carrying a minor strain, and the medical team recommended rest to avoid aggravating the issue. Though his injury is not considered serious, East Zone will miss his services at a time. When they were banking on a strong start to the tournament.
Replacements and Strategy
The East Zone think tank will now have to rethink their approach for the opener. With Kishan unavailable, a new wicketkeeper-batter will step into the playing XI. While the pace attack will
