Who is Riyan Parag?

Parag was born into a sportsman family in Guwahati, Assam, India on 10 November 2001. Talking about his personal life, his father Mr. Parag Das was a first-class cricketer who represented Assam, Indian Railways and East Zone Cricket Team.

His mother, Mithoo Barooah, was a national record holder in the 50m freestyle and represented India at the Asian Championships and the Singapore Games.

Due to his natural athleticism, Parag made his debut for Assam on January 29, 2017 in the 2016-17 Inter-State Twenty-20 Championship.

He was probably the youngest player to make his debut for India at the age of 14. However, the Assam selectors were at odds with the state’s then coach, Sanath Kumar.

He made his debut for Assam in the 2017-2018 Ranji Trophy on 17 November 2017. With this debut, he created history by becoming the first Indian-born FC cricketer in the 21st century.

As the Duleep Trophy tournament will begin on September 5, 2024, the Indian cricket team will be divided into two teams: Team A and Team B, which will play against each other in a round-robin format.

Additionally, Shumban Gill will captain Team A. During the Sri Lanka tour, Gill was picked as the vice-captain of the Indian ODI and T20I teams, which increased the possibility of him taking over the captaincy from Rohit Sharma.
