Nitish Rana has been appointed as the captain of Delhi for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, set to begin on November 26. This will be his inaugural participation with Delhi this season after transferring from Uttar Pradesh.

Despite his transfer, Rana was not included in the Ranji Trophy side, as the team struggles to secure significant victories. Currently, Delhi finds themselves in the sixth spot in Elite Group D, with only eight points from five matches.

Hopes are pinned on Rana to change the team's fortunes in the T20 tournament. Meanwhile, it remains uncertain why leg-spinner Digvesh Rathi was omitted from the squad, and it is unclear if it's due to an injury.
