Rishabh Pant has been included in Delhi’s squad for its upcoming Ranji Trophy games, whilst Virat Kohli’s name is missing from the 21-member playing list issued by the DDCA on Saturday.

A DDCA release stated that all the members unanimously "passed all the resolutions and agendas" but sources in the controversy-plagued cricket body informed that the AGM had its share of drama.
