On Wednesday, after announcing the life ban to the youngster, who orchestrated a 15-member gang on the selectors, Delhi Cricket announced their squad for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20. The lanky fast bowler Ishant Sharma will be leading the side while the flamboyant batsman Nitish Rana will be his deputy.

In total, they named a 15-member side. With Gautam Gambhir retiring from the game and Rishabh Pant plying his trade for the Indian National Cricket Team, there are quite a few places vacant in the side, which were replaced by the deserving youngsters.

Chand got the nod to represent Delhi again while the young Manjot Kalra also finds a place. The talent Dhruv Shorey will once again handle the batting department. Then there are quite a few all-rounders in the side to make things fall in place.
