Shubman Gill, India’s Test captain and North Zone captain for the Duleep Trophy, is unwell with viral fever. He had blood tests last week and is resting at home in Chandigarh. The North Zone team is in Bengaluru for the tournament starting 28 Aug but has not received official news about Gill’s participation. If he cannot play, vice-captain Ankit Kumar may lead the team. Gill was expected to play only one match before joining the Asia Cup squad. The final decision depends on clearance from BCCI’s medical team. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 11:53 IST; source: link)
