2016–17 Inter-State Twenty20 Tournament Explained

The 2016–17 Inter-State Twenty20 Tournament was a Twenty20 tournament held in India for one season only. The BCCI decided to convert the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy into a five-zone tournament for the teams which play in the Duleep Trophy. The 28 state teams were transferred to the Inter-State T20 but on a zonal basis only, so there was no national title available. The winners of the five zonal titles were Madhya Pradesh (Central), Bengal (East), Delhi (North), Karnataka (South), and Mumbai (West). The matches were played from 29 January to 6 February 2017.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} Squads and points tables for each zone are listed below.^[6]
