The NKP Salve Challenger Trophy, commonly referred to as the Challenger Series, was an Indian List A cricket tournament organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Established in the 1994–1995 season, the tournament was played to showcase the country's talent and provide opportunities for younger players to make an impression.

From 1998 to 1999, the tournament was known as the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy, named after former Board of Control for Cricket in India president N. K. P. Salve[1] – the man who brought the World Cup to the sub-continent in 1987.

The annual tournament is played between three sides, consisting of 36 of the best players in India.
