Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India's premier domestic tournament, will take place from November 14 to December 6. The uncapped stars will have an opportunity to perform well and draw the attention of IPL franchises before the mini-auction. Jharkhand will enter the tournament as defending champions. Ishan Kishan, who captained Jharkhand in the previous season, is likely to be available after he completes his ODI commitments. Before the start of the tournament, here we have a look at the Indian T20I stars who will in action -
