Left-arm spinner R. Sai Kishore will lead Tamil Nadu in the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy season and Pradosh Ranjan Paul will be his deputy.
On Monday, the State senior selection committee picked a 15-member squad for the premier domestic competition that begins on January 5, 2024. Incidentally, Sai Kishore had been earmarked as a future skipper by the previous selection committee, which named him skipper for the final two matches of the last season. However, the 27-year-old led only in one game as he had to miss the final league encounter due to illness.
TN hasn’t qualified for the knockouts of the Ranji Trophy since the 2016-17 season and has not won a title since its triumph in the 1987-88 season.
