AI-generated summary of the coverage listed below: KL Rahul has been ruled out of the Duleep Trophy final between South Zone and East Zone, which will take place at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The decision comes after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) issued a directive that all players must participate in domestic competitions.
