Tamil Nadu skipper R Sai Kishore will miss playing in the pre-season Buchi Babu tournament due to a hand injury. He is eyeing a comeback for the Duleep Trophy, which commences in Bengaluru on August 28. The 28-year-old bowler injured his hand while clutching a drive from M Shahrukh Khan during follow-through while playing a first-division club match for the Guru Nanak College ground in Chennai last Sunday. Sai Kishore is with the South Zone team, which starts its campaign on September 4 at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. Captaincy Changes and Squad Updates With Sai Kishore out of contention, Pradosh Ranjan Paul will lead the TNCA President's XI during the Buchi Babu tournament, vice-captained by C Andre Siddarth. Paul was initially supposed to lead the TNCA XI, but M Shahrukh Khan will now lead that team following a reshuffle. Tamil Nadu's spin department has been dealt a blow as left-arm spinner S Ajith Ram, the third-highest wicket-taker in the 2023-24 Ranji season, has also suffered an injury. M Siddarth has shifted from the TNCA President's XI to the TNCA XI on personal grounds. Sai Kishore recently represented county cricket for Surrey, picking 11 wickets in two games, including a five-wicket haul against Durham. He also participated in one match for his club upon return to Chennai. Seam-bowling all-rounder RS Ambrish and fast bowler D Deepesh, who played for India Under-19s in England, have been included in the two Tamil Nadu teams. TNCA XI will meet a formidable Mumbai team with Ayush Mhatre, Sarfaraz Khan, and Musheer Khan from August 18 at the Gojan ground in Chennai.
