Talking about this Cooch Behar Trophy, it is India's four-day cricket tournament for U-19 players which has been held annually since 1945-46 by BCCI. In the past many prominent players like Mohinder Amarnath, Sachin Tendulkar, and Yuvraj Singh featured for team India based on Cooch Behar's trophy performance but the status of this trophy has been declined after the introduction of IPL.
