The Royals had a mixed campaign in the first half of IPL 2021, winning three of their opening seven games. RR currently occupies the fifth spot in the points table.

Manan Vohra has played four games for the Royals this campaign, failing to make much impact with the bat. The 28-year-old could only amass 42 runs at an average of 10.5 while his strike rate was 107.69.

The right-handed batter played the first four games of the season for his franchise but was later dropped for the other three matches.

Domestic cricket in India has been severely impacted over the past year, with only the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy taking place in the 2020-21 season.

Earlier this month, the BCCI announced its schedule for the new domestic season. Cricketers will get to play in the Ranji Trophy along with other major competitions.

You can find the complete schedule for the upcoming domestic season here.

Chandigarh skipper Manan Vohra praised the BCCI for arranging a full season of domestic cricket in such trying times.

"Whenever a player plays full season across formats and performs well, the performance is always noted and rewarded. So this decision is a welcome step (from BCCI) for all the players. Last season, we played in the Vijay Hazare trophy among the top teams, and it gave the team a lot of confidence."

The Ranji Trophy will be played in a three-month window, beginning on November 16 this year. But before that, Manan Vohra will be keen to impress in the second phase of the IPL in the UAE.
