Nitish Rana recently changed his loyalty to Delhi after a recent failed tenure.
In a massive development, just hours before the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 mega auction, former KKR skipper Nitish Rana has been cleared to participate in the tournament. Earlier ruled ineligible due to a BCCI cooling-off clause, Rana’s inclusion comes as a late but welcome surprise — especially for East Delhi Riders, whose co-owner has now confirmed Rana’s availability for the auction pool.
Rana switched from UP to Delhi
Rana had switched back to Delhi from Uttar Pradesh earlier this year after a forgettable two-season stint that saw him struggle for form in red and white-ball cricket. With the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) granting him a No Objection Certificate (NOC), Rana was eligible to represent Delhi in national tournaments but was reportedly barred from playing in local leagues like the DPL due to a one-year cooling-off policy.
