As IPL auction and T20 WC beckon, more eyeballs and higher stakes for SMAT
The Indian domestic cricket calendar now reflects the rigours of international cricket. After five rounds of gruelling four-day Ranji Trophy cricket, India’s journeymen and a handful of stars will brace for high-tempo T20 action with the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) championship beginning on Wednesday across five cities in the country.
While adapting to a different format within a week will be a challenge, teams in good rhythm would also want to carry their momentum from red-ball to white-ball cricket.
