“It is a great decision by the BCCI, our job is to play cricket and we should not refuse to play cricket anywhere and to get the opportunity to play competitively is ideal. BCCI’s decision to host all Duleep trophy games at one venue is a great decision, we will have India’s best 50-60 players in one place,” Chetan Sharma told IANS.

Originally a zonal competition with teams representing six zones - North, South, East, West, Central, and North-East - the Duleep Trophy will feature only four teams this time. As the second round coincides with the home Test series against Bangladesh starting on September 19, players selected for the Test series will be replaced in the Duleep Trophy.

Bangladesh are coming off a historic win against Pakistan in the first test of the two game series which was the first Bangladesh Test victory over Pakistan.The Tigers not only registered a first ever victory against Pakistan, they did it in emphatic fashion with a 10 wicket victory at Rawalpindi.

Chetan went on to state that there are no easy matches and India should aim to register dominant victories against Bangladesh.
