When the Ranji Trophy begins on December 13th, India’s opening batsman
Shikhar Dhawan will be among Delhi’s 39 problems despite not having played
a red-ball game in three years. Dhawan plays only the 50-over format for
India alongside the IPL. In fact, the 37-year-old did see some action in
the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy and the recent 50-over Vijay Hazare
competition. To the surprise of those in the Delhi camp, the final squad
will be unveiled on December 8 or 9 before their opener against hosts
Maharashtra in Pune, giving them scarcely any time to prepare.
