Source-derived summary

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. Squads and points tables for each zone are listed below.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“2016–17 Inter-State Twenty20 Tournament” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Inter-State, Twenty20 and Tournament provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
