“Traditions, traditions. Without a traditions, a lives would be as unsure as… as… as a fiddler on a roof!

Duleep Trophy used to be a many critical competition on a Indian cricket calendar after a Ranji Trophy. Over a years, a Board has stage in changes by mouth-watering abroad teams and doing divided with a zonal flavour. This year, a BCCI motionless to hearing a pinkish round in this competition with a teams being called India Blue, India Green and India Red.
How about fixing a teams after India’s defunct cricketing stalwarts, who have been tip performers in a Duleep Trophy over a years? ML Jaisimha, who upheld divided in 1999, heads a list of run-getters, who have upheld divided with 1456 runs for South Zone during 45.50, aided by 4 centuries. Following him is Hanumant Singh (1306 runs), who led Central Zone to feat in 1971-72.
MAK Pataudi lent credit to a competition by representing both North and South Zone from 1963 to 1974.
The cricket bosses could also fondle with a thought of fixing a teams after some vital domestic giants, who were hapless to skip out on India selection, like Padmakar Shivalkar (71 wickets in 15 matches) and Rajender Goel (59 wickets in 18 matches). Or because not untiring pacer Kailash Gattani, who claimed 56 wickets in 18 games?
Bishan Singh Bedi reckoned a BCCI has angry a competition named after KS Duleepsinhji, a nephew of KS Ranjitsinhji. “They have done a hoax of this good competition by personification matches with a pinkish ball. And what’s a India Red, India Blue and India Green about? What devotion will a players have? Forget a players, how many BCCI officials know about Duleep,” remarked Bedi, who played in a Duleep Trophy over a 16-year peroid (1964 to 1980).
He claimed 52 wickets for North Zone and his excellent Duleep Trophy impulse was when he led his section to feat over Central Zone in a 1973-74 final during Mumbai. “In a prior game, we kick West Zone led by Ajit Wadekar. The competitiion was intense. The authorities plod around with a competition now and contend they wish to attract crowds. How can we attract crowds when a competition lacks a rival edge,” asked Bedi.
