The 2016–17 Duleep Trophy was the 55th season of the Duleep Trophy, a first-class cricket tournament in India. In June 2016, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the tournament will feature day/night matches and pink ball will be used.[1][2] The tournament was contested by three teams.[3][4]
In August 2016 the BCCI confirmed that three teams, India Red, India Blue and India Green would play in a round-robin league stage. Each of these matches will last for four days, with the final scheduled to last five days, starting on 10 September.[4] India Blue won the trophy, beating India Red by 355 runs in the final.[5]
