Keenan Stadium hosts three fixtures
Jharkhand begin against Kerala at Keenan Stadium in Jamshedpur. Their other first-phase home game is against Delhi at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, so the two opening home fixtures are in different cities.
Virat Singh is named captain in the current squad listing. After the mid-season break, Jharkhand host Services and Bengal at Keenan Stadium. Their final opponent is Gujarat, but the ground for that away fixture is not yet specified in the schedule listing.
