Three teams - India Red, India Blue and India Green - will feature in the tournament starting August 23, at the Greater Noida International Cricket Stadium in Uttar Pradesh. Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir and Suresh Raina have been named captains of the three 15-member teams respectively.
Interestingly, Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay, currently a part of the Indian contingent on their tour of West Indies, have been named in the Blue and Green squads. It is likely that the duo will, however, stay back until the end of the ongoing Test series on August 22 and join their respective Duleep Trophy sides from the second round.
With the Indian side for the upcoming two-match Twenty20 International series against West Indies in USA yet to be announced, it is likely that there could be further changes to the Duleep Trophy squads. India A team, currently in Australia for a quadrangular One-Day series, could also have some of its players drafted into the yet-to-be-announced T20I team.
