Wasim Jaffer and Laxmi Ratan Shukla have been named captains of the West and East Zones, respectively, for this season's Deodhar Trophy.

Jaffer, after a dismal Test tour of Australia, has been in solid form during the Ranji Trophy one-dayers. His 349 runs at 116.33, with a best of an unbeaten 178 from just 132 balls, are a main reason Mumbai top their group.

The West team comprises names such as Rohit Sharma, who scored 235 runs in ten innings during India's CB Series triumph, Ajit Agarkar, Parthiv Patel, Yusuf Pathan, Under-19 winner Iqbal Abdullah and Munaf Patel, who also featured in the tour of Australia.

Sourav Ganguly and Manoj Tiwary have been named in the East team, as has another victorious U-19 player, Saurabh Tiwary.

The limited-overs tournament will be played at four centers in South Zone from March 14.
