The domestic season is about to start soon in India. Duleep Trophy is to be played first from June 28. Six teams have been announced for this. In all these teams, some such players have not found a place who have performed brilliantly at the domestic level. Among them is all-rounder Jalaj Saxena. Former Indian fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad termed his non-selection as shameful.

Jalaj Saxena, the highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 season, took to Twitter to express his disappointment after being overlooked. The all-rounder from Kerala took 50 wickets in 13 innings in the Ranji Trophy last season. His best performance was 11 for 102 against Services. Despite this, he was not selected for the Duleep Trophy.
