Jaipur - Rajasthan has named promising young talent Manav Suthar as their captain for the first two matches of the upcoming Ranji Trophy season 2026-27. The 15-member squad was announced on Saturday, with Suthar leading the team in sharp composure, exceptional left-arm spin, and a proven ability to perform under pressure. His deputy will be Mahipal Lomror, the team's most experienced batter.
Veteran left-arm pacer Aniket Choudhary, who has been a key bowler for Rajasthan, is unable to take part in the first two fixtures due to a knee injury. He is expected to return by the third match. Key bowler Khaleel Ahmed is also recovering from an injury sustained during the last IPL and is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
The squad will gather for a preparatory camp starting October 4 at the RCA Academy, with Rajasthan's first match against Tamil Nadu at the Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Stadium on October 11 and a clash against Railways on October 18.
