The Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) has announced the 16-man squad for their upcoming Ranji Trophy 2017-18 encounter against Madhya Pradesh. They have made some bold changes in the side which includes dropping the left arm spinner Rahil Shah. The Tamil Nadu camp will be heading in to the game without the services of their two prime cricketers – R Ashwin and Murali Vijay.

Both Ashwin and Vijay have been named in the India squad for the international fixtures against Sri Lanka. TN will be taking on Madhya Pradesh in the match that commences on November 17. The match will be an away game for the TN camp and will be played at Indore. The match was earliern scheduled to be played at Chennai, the home venue for TN team. However, citing the monsoons, the TNCA requested for a change in venue. It is a Group C encounter.

Talking about the changes, the big change was dropping Rahil Shah. The selectors have also axed wicket-keeper R Rohith and medium pacer L Vignesh. Stumper S Lokeshwar and M Mohammed have replaced them in the 16-man squad respectively. An addition to the squad has been J Koushik, who is a promising all-rounder.

Commenting on the form of the Tamil Nadu team, they recently conceded the first innings lead in the match against Odisha. They currently have 8 points to their name in 4 matches thus far. They are in a position of no return as they need to win their remaining two matches (against MP and Baroda) to stay in the hunt for the knockouts stages.
