The stadium is comparatively new, so the players will get a good opportunity to play in a new stadium. The tournament has been quite popular for producing some of the best batsmen of India over the years.

Their selection is subject to their performance in the previous seasons.
Where to Watch Duleep Trophy 2025 Live?
Despite being one of the most significant tournaments in history, this year's edition won't be telecasted. The Duleep Trophy 2025 has no official live broadcast or live-streaming partner yet. The news of no Duleep Trophy live streaming is heartbreaking for the fans who were anticipating to see their favorite players on TV or on online.
However, unlike this season, all the games in the last edition were on Sports18 platforms and live-streamed on JioCinema to enable supporters across India to view the ball-by-ball coverage. This issue has caused a lot of outrage across social media platforms among cricket fans and pundits.
The majority of the followers have expressed their disappointment on social media. Moreover, considering the fact that the BCCI has gone out of its way in promoting new franchise-based T20 tournaments such as UP Premier League T20, Karnataka's Maharaja Trophy, and Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) through streaming networks like FanCode and Star Sports, keeping out one of India's historic tournaments is shocking.
Ball-by-Ball Coverage of Duleep Trophy 2025
Since there is no Duleep Trophy streaming, fans have no option but to rely on ball-by-ball commentary, live scorecard updates, and match reports. Live scores, scorecards, and elaborate stats are provided on the official BCCI website (bcci.tv) for all matches. Hence, the fans can totally rely on these websites for keeping a close watch on their favorite players.
Social media platforms, especially on Twitter, are another source for the score updates and clips of star cricketers. Players themselves may provide training updates or behind-the-scenes photos, giving a small but handy connection to the action.
Star Players to Feature in Duleep Trophy 2025
There are players like Tilak Varma, Devdutt Padikkal, Ishan Kishan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Mohammed Shami, Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, and Harsh Dubey, will be seen playing in the Duleep Trophy 2025. Tilak Varma will not play the entire season since he is a part of the Asia Cup 2025 squad.
Apart from him, all the other players will get a chance to showcase their talent and also send a message to the selectors. Players like Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Shami, and Ishan Kishan were ignored while making the Asia Cup squad, so this will be an important tournament for them. Moreover, the stage is also set for young players to perform well and get on the radar of the selectors. With the Test series against West Indies coming up, these players might get a call-up from the selectors if they perform well.
The tournament will be important for players like Mohammed Shami, who was out of the Test series against England due to fitness issues. The veteran quick, who is one of the best bowlers in the world, will be aiming to prove his red-ball fitness and make his way back into the Indian Test team.
