Ranji Trophy Elite Teams Squad 2024-25: The Ranji Trophy Elite 2024-25 is all set to bring back the excitement of red-ball cricket in India. Being the 90th edition of India’s premier First-Class domestic cricket tournament, the Ranji Trophy is widely recognized as the backbone of Indian cricket. Over the years, this prestigious tournament has produced world-class cricketers who have gone on to represent Team India at the international level.
In the 2024-25 season, a total of 38 teams from different states and cricket associations will compete against each other to clinch the coveted Ranji Trophy title. The competition will witness some of the biggest cricketing talents, including domestic stars, future India prospects, and seasoned First-Class cricketers.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the full squads for all participating teams, and the players are ready to showcase their skills and talent in this competitive tournament. Here, we bring you the complete squad list of Ranji Trophy Elite 2024-25 for each team.
Why Ranji Trophy 2024-25 is Special?
The Ranji Trophy Elite 2024-25 is set to offer intense competition between domestic powerhouses and talented players. Every year, several young cricketers emerge from this tournament and go on to represent Team India in Test cricket.
This season will also provide a platform for senior players like Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prithvi Shaw, Hanuma Vihari, and Wriddhiman Saha to regain their form and push their case for a national team comeback. Additionally, promising youngsters like Tilak Varma, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Yash Dhull will look to make a strong statement to selectors.
