Niranjan Shah Stadium: Rishabh Pant has been included in Delhi’s squad for its upcoming Ranji Trophy games, whilst Virat Kohli’s name is missing from the 21-member playing list issued by the DDCA on Saturday.

The announcement comes on the day India captain Rohit Sharma confirmed that he would be turning out for Mumbai in their upcoming Ranji Trophy match against Jammu & Kashmir, when the prestigious first-class competition’s league matches resume on January 23.

Both Kohli and Pant were a part of the Indian team that suffered a 3-1 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia. Shortly after that, the BCCI apparently introduced a 10-point policy document making participation in domestic cricket mandatory, and that non-compliance could impact international selection and central contract renewals.
