Delhi today made wholesome changes to its squad as the selectors omitted opener Aakash Chopra and experienced spinners Sarandeep Singh and Rahul Sanghvi for the Ranji Trophy one-day cricket tournament (North Zone) to be played at Dharmasala in Himachal Pradesh.

The former champions, who failed to qualify for the knock-out stage of the longer version of the Ranji Trophy championship last week, will be led by Ajay Jadeja, Delhi and District Cricket Association Sports Secretary Sunil Dev said in a release.

While wicket-keeper batsman Vijay Dahiya has opted out of the squad for personal reasons, left-arm paceman Kunal Lal could also not find a place in the 15.
