Tilak Verma will not play the semi -finals of the Dilip Trophy. Prior to the semi -final match, South Zone has made 2 major changes in its squad. Captain Tilak Verma will not play the semi -final match, which is going to start from September 4 but on this day the Indian team is going to leave for Dubai for the Asia Cup. The South Zone team has suffered another major setback as Sai Kishore has been out of the team due to a finger injury.

Who took the place of Tilak Verma?

Mohammad Azharuddin of Kerala was first appointed as the vice -captain of the South Zone team. Now in the absence of Tilak Verma, Ajgaruddin will take over the burden of captaincy. At the same time, N Jagdishan of Tamil Nadu has been appointed as the new vice -captain. Talking about the replacement, Sheikh Rashid has replaced Tilak Verma in the squad, while Sai Kishore has been replaced by Ankit Sharma.

The selector of South Zone did not give KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Mohammad Siraj, Sai Sudarshan and the famous Krishna a place in the team, not accepting BCCI’s advice. Now even after Tilak Verma and Sai Kishore are out, the selectors of South Zone have not given a chance to big players.

Let us tell you that Mohammad Siraj and Washington have reached BCCI’s Center of Excellence for beautiful fitness testing. The team can be changed by the last time, but the expectation is less that Siraj and Sundar will be included in the squad. The South Zone and West Zone got entry in the direct semi -finals, which will face the North Zone and Central Zone respectively in the semi -finals.

New Squad of South Zone: Mohammad Azharuddin (captain), Tanmay Aggarwal, Devdutt Padikkal, Mohit Kale, Salman Nizar, Narayan Jagadishan, Tripurana Vijay, Tanay Tyagarajan, Vijaykumar Vaishak, Nidhish MD, Ricky Bhui, Basil NP, Gurjapneet Singh, Snehal Kauthakar, Ankit Sharma, Sheikh Rashid, Sheikh Rashid
