Qamran Iqbal, a 24-year-old cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir, has arrived early for the upcoming Duleep Trophy, four days before the start of the tournament. This is a significant change from his previous experience, where he had to endure a 2,800 km and 15-hour journey at short notice for a national call-up. Iqbal, who scored an unbeaten 160 in the Duley Trophy final earlier this year, is now part of Jammu and Kashmir's Ranji Trophy-winning side and has been named in the North Zone squad for the Duleep Trophy.
The team consists of six members from Jammu and Kashmir's successful Ranji Trophy-winning side. Iqbal expresses his desire to achieve more in his cricket career and credit his success to the support of the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association management, particularly BCCI president Mithun Manhas. He also highlights the improvements in facilities and infrastructure under the leadership of Mithun Sir, which have contributed to the team's success.
