Mohammad Ashraful will lead Bangladesh in the Duleep Trophy. This should be a great experience for the young Bangla side who are on the up. This has been one of the better decisions made by the BCCI - to invite international A teams to participate in the Duleep Trophy. (although the purists might have some valid objections to it).
Last year England A added great value to the tournament while also deriving several benefits. They produced some tough cricket before they bowed out to South Zone courtesy a mammoth run-chase and an innings from young Y Venugopal Rao that helped him make his mark. Rngland also benefitted - Pietersen developed in leaps and bounds as a player and Simon Jones got just the tonic needed to recover from injury.
I hope Ashraful and his team reap benefits from this and in the process play some attractive cricket.
