Madhya Pradesh won the Ranji Trophy in the 2021-22 season but as the season kicked off late and ended late, there was no time to play the Irani Cup game last year. Saurashtra played their Irani Cup earlier this season and now, Madhya Pradesh will battle it out for the prestigious title.
They were in good form in the recently concluded Ranji Trophy before crashing out of the semi-finals after losing to Bengal.
The Rest of India squad, on the other hand, boast some big names and consistent performers from the Ranji Trophy circuit. Mayank Agarwal will lead the side and most of the players will be looking to impress the national selectors and knock on the doors of the Test team.
