This year’s Duleep Trophy matches are not being shown on television, unlike other state-level leagues such as the Delhi Premier League, UP Premier League, and Maharaja Trophy.
Spectators are not being allowed into the stadiums to watch the matches live.
A few die-hard fans who reached the ground had to watch the games from behind wire fences, as seating stands were not available.
While the IPL attracts massive crowds, domestic tournaments like the Duleep Trophy are being ignored, leaving fans disappointed. Check out why?
Domestic cricket is seen as low-priority compared to IPL and international series.
Broadcasters find limited commercial value, so no live telecast is arranged.
Many venues lack basic infrastructure like stands, so authorities cite security and safety reasons to bar spectators.
