Background
Indian domestic cricket is organised through a tiered system of tournaments overseen by the BCCI. First-class cricket in India is contested primarily through the Ranji Trophy, which has been held since 1934–35 and groups state and institutional sides into elite and plate divisions. Limited-overs cricket at the domestic level is played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (List A) and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (Twenty20). Players such as Ajay Kumar typically progress through age-group cricket, state academies, and zonal selection before featuring in senior domestic squads.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) provides an additional platform for domestic players to gain exposure.
