BCCI Mandates Domestic Play: Gill, Kohli, Rohit Join Vijay Hazare Trophy

• BCCI has ordered international players to participate in the domestic Vijay Hazare Trophy.
• Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, and KL Rahul will join their state teams for the tournament.
• Gill will play for Punjab on Jan 3 & 6 before joining the India squad for New Zealand ODIs.
• Most top players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant are also participating.
