Left out of the Test scheme of things as well as the upcoming Asia Cup T20Is, Shreyas Iyer was on Saturday entrusted with leading the India A team in the two unofficial four-day games against Australia A in Lucknow.
Senior India players KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj will be available for the second fixture, while all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is making a comeback from a knee injury which he suffered after the third Test during India’s tour of England.
Karun Nair, who had suffered an injury while batting in the fifth and final Test at The Oval against England and had also missed the Maharaja Trophy (KSCA T20 tournament), has not been named in the side. India wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel, who played the fifth Test, has been named Iyer’s deputy.
