Historic Buchi Babu Tournament Finds New Relevance In State Units Chasing Red-ball Readiness
All India Buchi Babu Invitational: A couple of months still remain before the Ranji Trophy gets underway, and the All India Buchi Babu Invitational tournament, set to begin in Chennai on Monday and run till September 9, will once again serve as the appetiser that state units eagerly seek to get into red-ball groove.
For teams eyeing a head start to do well in red-ball cricket, the timing could not be better. With the Duleep Trophy slated to begin from August 28, squads will soon lose their top players to the zonal tournament duties. The Buchi Babu tournament, revived in 2023 after a 12-year-long hiatus, offers just the right platform for state teams to rediscover their red-ball cricket rhythm.
"Its a very historical and old tournament which we won in 2011. After 2013, we had not played in this tournament. Why this is important is because elsewhere in India, there are no three-day or four-day quality tournaments like the Buchi Babu competition offering challenging conditions.
