The 2022–23 Irani Cup, also known as Mastercard Irani Trophy due to sponsorship reasons, was the 59th edition of the Irani Cup, a first-class cricket competition in India.[1] It was played as a one-off match between Madhya Pradesh, the winners of the 2021–22 Ranji Trophy, and a Rest of India cricket team, from 1 to 5 March 2023.[2]
In March 2020, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that all domestic cricket in India was suspended due to coronavirus, including the 2019–20 Irani Cup.[3] However, the cancelled match was played as an opening match of this season from 1 to 5 October, with the 2019–20 Ranji Trophy winners Saurashtra playing against a Rest of India team.[4]
Squads
[edit]On 28 February 2023, Mayank Markande was ruled out of Rest of India's squad due to a right index finger injury. Shams Mulani was named as his replacement.[7]
