Bad timing dilutes purpose of Vijay Hazare Trophy
The domestic cricket calendar has shifted focus towards the Indian Premier League auction, making the Vijay Hazare Trophy less significant. The Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament has become the preferred choice for IPL scouting. With the Champions Trophy in 2025, players will need exceptional performances to be considered for national selection, as India is only scheduled to play nine ODIs before the tournament. The domestic season should have started with the Vijay Hazare Trophy, but now there is little to look forward to for players.

Bad timing dilutes purpose of Vijay Hazare Trophy
The Vijay Hazare Trophy, a premium domestic tournament, has taken a backseat to the Indian Premier League auction in recent years. The Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament has become the preferred choice for IPL scouting, leaving the Vijay Hazare Trophy with fewer international stars and contenders. The tournament’s timing has also affected its significance, as India has only nine ODIs before the Champions Trophy in February 2025. However, some believe the tournament still has value for young players to prove themselves and prepare for the future.
