NEW DELHI: In a fake pas, the BCCI has named Punjab wicket-keeper batsman Abhishek Gupta in the Indian Red squad for Duleep Trophy despite the fact that he's serving a doping ban until September 14.

The Duleep Trophy is scheduled to happen from August 17 to September eight. Realising their mistake, the BCCI later issued a remark naming Akshay Wadkar as Gupta's alternative in the India Red workforce.
In June, Gupta used to be handed a retrospective eight-month suspension for an "inadvertent" doping violation. The 27-year-old's suspension started from January 15 and will finish on September 14. Gupta has performed six top quality matches, six List A video games and 9 T20s.
Gupta had inadvertently ingested a prohibited substance (terbutaline), which can be usually present in cough syrups, the BCCI had mentioned again in June.
The selectors met in Kolkata lately to pick out the squads for Duleep Trophy. Faiz Fazal will captain India Blue, Abhinav Mukund will lead India Red and Parthiv Patel will skipper India Green.
