Rinku Singh to play Duleep Trophy

As per TOI, Rinku Singh will be a part of Abhimanyu Easwaran’s India B which picked up a win against India A last week.

Along with Rinku, Aaqib Khan has also been included in India B.

My job is to work hard, and I am extremely delighted to have received the call for Duleep Trophy. When the teams were initially announced, I was not selected.

Today, I feel even more elated as I am here to represent India B in the prestigious Duleep Trophy,” Rinku said as quoted by TOI.

“Nothing…I didn’t perform that well (in the domestic season). I didn’t play many matches in the Ranji Trophy…I played 2-3 matches. I wasn’t selected because I didn’t play that well. I might get selected for next-round matches,” Rinku Singh had told Sportstak earlier after being snubbed from the Duleep Trophy.
