Chennai: India spinner Varun Chakravarthy was on Thursday named the captain of Tamil Nadu for this seasons’ Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, beginning across the country from November 26.
Chakravarthy played a handy role in India’s 2-1 away T20 International series win over Australia recently, taking 5 wickets across three completed matches.
India batter Narayan Jagadeesan will be Chakravarthy’s deputy for the country’s premier T20 tournament.
Left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore and promising Andre Siddarth are also part of the squad.
