# 2016–17 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

The 2016–17 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy was the ninth edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, an annual Twenty20 tournament in India. Since it began in 2006–07, the tournament had involved the Ranji Trophy state teams only but for the 2016–17 edition the BCCI decided to run this event as a zonal competition involving the five Duleep Trophy teams. The state teams were assigned to a new competition called the 2016–17 Inter State Twenty-20 Tournament. This arrangement lasted only one season and the state teams returned in 2017–18. All the inter-zonal matches were played in Mumbai from 12 to 18 February 2017, and the winners were East Zone.
