IND vs AUS: India’s team against Australia announced
Unofficial Test matches are to be played between India A and Australia A teams before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The two teams will face each other for two four-day first class matches. The first match will start from October 31, while the second match will be played from November 7.
After this, the India A team will play warm-up matches against the Indian team touring Australia. For this, the BCCI has announced the India A team, in which 15 players have been included. The responsibility of leading the team has been given to young batsman Rituraj Gaikwad.
Shreyas Iyer’s cut leaf
Abhimanyu Easwaran will play the role of vice-captain of the A team. Those players who can be a part of the T20 series to be played with South Africa have not got a place in this team. However, in the meantime, the Indian selectors have also not given a place to the middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer in the India A team.
He has been ignored for a long time. He played his last match for India in February 2024. He is continuously playing domestic cricket in the hope of making a comeback. But till now the selectors have not shown interest in giving a chance to Shreyas Iyer.
This player got a big chance
He was impressive in the recent T20 series played against Bangladesh. He caught everyone’s attention by playing a stormy innings of 74 runs. In such a situation, now the Indian selectors have given him a big opportunity to try his luck in red ball cricket. At the same time, Ishan Kishan has also been included in the team. If he manages to perform well against Australia A, then he can make a comeback in Team India.
India A squad against Australia A: Rituraj Gaikwad (captain), Abhimanyu Easwaran (vice-captain), Sai Sudarshan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Devdutt Padikkal, Ricky Bhui, Baba Indrajith, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Abhishek Porel (wicketkeeper), Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Yash Dayal, Navdeep Saini, Manav Suthar, Tanush Kotian.
