JAIPUR: Deepak Hooda has been appointed as the Rajasthan captain for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy scheduled to begin on September 16. The newly-appointed senior men's selection committee of the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA), headed by former state player Rahul Kanwat, on Friday announced the 15-member squad which features familiar faces like seasoned seamers Deepak Chahar, Aniket Choudhary and Khaleel Ahmed, along with proven batters like Mahipal Lomror and Arjit Gupta. The Rajasthan squad also features upcoming and young talent in Shubham Garhwal and Manav Suthar.
But contrary to the RCA management claims that performers of the first edition of the Rajasthan Premier League (RPL), which concluded on September 11, will also be considered for selection, no new face from the state's T20 league has been picked up.
