The Duleep Trophy 2025 is India’s premier red-ball inter-zonal tournament. Earlier, the tournament format was changed from Inter-zonal to a format involving different teams. Still, after a year of the same, the organizers have decided to go back to their original inter-zonal format. The Duleep Trophy 2025 is set to begin from August 28 to September 15 and will feature six regional teams: South, West, North, East, Central, and North East. Set to follow the zonal format, the teams will battle out in the knockout format at the Centre of Excellence grounds in Bengaluru.

The South Zone and West Zone teams have been given direct entry into the semi-finals, while the other four zones, North, East, Central, and North-East, will get into the quarter-finals from August 28 to 31. The Semi-finals will begin on September 4, followed by the grand finale starting from September 11 in a four-day action.

The tournament has returned to the zonal format after the previous edition was contested between teams named India A, B, C, and D. This year’s structure reflects a completely new focus on regional talent development and representation. India A, led by Mayank Agarwal, were the champions of the 2024/25 edition after a dominant 132-run win over India C in the final. With the return to the old format, the Duleep Trophy 2025 is going to be an exciting and thrilling contest.
