In the forthcoming Buchi Babu competition, Pradosh Ranjan Paul will be captaining the TNCA President's XI. The TNCA XI was supposed to be led by Paul, but M. Shahrukh Khan will now assume the position. Additional announcements included P Vignesh joining the TNCA President's XI and P Vidyuth switching from the TNCA XI to the latter. Due to personal obligations, M Siddharth has been moved from the TNCA President's XI to the TNCA XI.

But because of his injuries, Pradosh Ranjan Paul has been named the new captain by the team's management. M. Shahrukh Khan will captain the TNCA XI, and Paul, who was initially designated captain of the TNCA XI, will now captain the President's XI. Both squads have undergone a reorganisation as a result of the leadership changes.
