History

The competition was started by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in the 1961–62 season. The inaugural tournament was won by West Zone who defeated South Zone in the final by 10 wickets. In the 1962–63 season four of the five teams (all except Central Zone) had their bowling attacks strengthened by a West Indies Test cricketer.[1]

North Zone and West Zone have been the most successful teams with 17 wins each, though North's total includes one shared trophy and West's three.

Format

Five Indian zonal teams regularly take part in the Duleep Trophy – North Zone, South Zone, East Zone, West Zone and Central Zone.

The original format was that the five teams played each other on a knock-out basis. From the 1993–94 season, the competition converted to a league format.

For the 2002–03 season, the zonal teams were replaced by 5 new teams – Elite A, Elite B, Elite C, Plate A and Plate B. These teams were constructed from the new Elite Group and Plate Group divisions which had been introduced into the Ranji Trophy that season. However, this format lasted for only one season as it was felt that the new teams lacked a sense of identity.[2]

From the 2003–04 season until 2008, the five original zonal teams competed along with a sixth guest team which was a touring foreign team. The first guest team was England A in 2003–04.

Since, the format has been replaced by the original 5-team knockout tournament.

Composition of teams

Each zonal team is a composite team of cricketers who play for the Ranji Trophy state/city teams situated in that region of India. The teams which compose each zone are as follows:

Guest teams

From the 2003–04 season onwards, a foreign guest team has competed as a sixth team in the Duleep Trophy.

Season Guest Team
2003–04 England A
2004–05 Bangladesh
2005–06 Zimbabwe Cricket Union President's XI
2006–07 Sri Lanka A
2007–08 England Lions
2008–09 no guest team[3]
