Over its history, it has been played with various age-limits including under-22, under-23, under-25.[3] The current champions are Karnataka who defeated Uttar Pradesh in the 2024 final.

History

[edit]

In 1973–74, BCCI named a tournament for under-22 cricketers after India's first Test cricket captain, C. K. Nayudu. It was initially called 'Junior Tournament of India for the Colonel Nayudu Trophy'.[1] The trophy was donated by the Bombay Cricket Association from the funds collected to perpetuate the memory of Nayudu.[1] Until 2003–04 season, the tournament was played in zonal format.

From 2014 to 2015 season onwards, BCCI lowered the age-limit for the tournament from 25 to 23 and restricted the number of Ranji Trophy cricketers in the playing XI to only three.[3] The age-limit of 23 continued till the 2019–20 season. From 2021 to 2022 season onwards, the BCCI brought back the age-limit to 25 years.[4]
