India A vs Australia A: Shreyas Iyer set to lead, THESE stars will also be seen in action!

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.

Rahul and Siraj will join the squad for the second multi-day match as they will get quality match practice ahead of home Test series against the West Indies and South Africa.

The fast bowling line-up includes India pacers Prasidh Krishna, Khaleel Ahmed, Thakur and Punjab’s lanky pacer Gurnoor Brar, who has also been a regular nets bowler for the national side.

Squad: Shreyas Iyer (c), Abhimanyu Easwaran, N Jagadeesan (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel (vc & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Harsh Dubey, Ayush Badoni, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Tanush Kotian, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, Khaleel Ahmed, Manav Suthar, Yash Thakur.
