Like last year, Mumbai's Cricket Club of India will be hosting the upcoming Irani Trophy, set to start on January 20, this year as well. The winner of the ongoing Ranji Trophy final between Mumbai and Gujarat will take on Rest of India in the five-day match.

The Indian selectors, three of whom are present at Indore's Holkar Stadium to watch the Ranji Trophy final - MSK Prasad, Sarandeep Singh and Jatin Paranjpe - will pick the Rest of India squad on Saturday (January 14). The top performers of Ranji Trophy and some of the fringe India players will be selected to play for Rest of India against the Ranji champions.

In the last edition, Rest of India chased down a record 482 to register a come-from behind victory against Mumbai in Brabourne.
