A major setback for India A vs Australia A team may be that experienced batsman Shreyas Iyer may be out of the second Test match. This match will start from Tuesday and no one else will be included in the team. Meanwhile, the batsman is in a strong claim to make a place in the Indian Test team for the West Indies series starting on October 2.
In the event of Shreyas Iyer’s non -play, Dhruv Jurael will take charge of the team, according to a source, Shreyas is taking a break and returned to Mumbai. He has informed the selectors that he will not be able to play in the second four -day match against Australia A. However, even when the selectors meet to select the team for the West Indies series, he will still remain in the race to make a place in the middle order. In the last match, Shreyas Iyer was quite ineffective and in India’s only innings – where the team scored 531 runs, he scored only 8 runs in 13 balls. His performance for West Zone in the Duleep Trophy semi -finals was also not good. He scored only 25 and 12 runs in two innings there. In such a situation, this match against Australia A could have been important for him.
The last season of Nitish’s Ranji Trophy was great for him and he performed brilliantly in the Champions Trophy, where he scored 243 runs in five matches at an average of 48. On the other hand, Mohammad Siraj has been included in the team in place of Khalil Ahmed. Nitish Kumar Reddy has not recovered from his injury yet and will not be able to play in the second match.
India A Team: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Abhimanyu Ishwar, N. Jagdishan (wicket -keeper), Sai Sudarshan, Dhruv Jurael (Vice -captain), Devdutt Padikkal, Harsh Dubey, Ayush Badoni, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Tanush Kotian, famous Krishna, Gurrar, Khalil Ahmed, Manav Suthar, Yash Thakur.
