Big news has come regarding Shreyas Iyer, as the BCCI has entrusted him with the captaincy of the India ‘A’ team. The senior men’s selectors have announced the squad for the multi-day matches against Australia ‘A’, beginning on September 16 and continuing with the second match on September 23. After the first game, KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj will join the squad, with two players being released to make space. This series holds great importance for Indian players as it provides a golden opportunity to prove themselves at the Test level. While discussions were ongoing about Iyer not being included in India’s squad for the Asia Cup 2025, being handed the leadership of India ‘A’ sends a strong message. The squad features Shreyas Iyer (captain), Abhimanyu Easwaran, L. Jagadeesan (wicketkeeper), Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel (vice-captain & wicketkeeper), Devdutt Padikkal, Harsh Dubey, Ayush Badoni, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Tanush Kotian, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, Khaleel Ahmed, Manav Suthar and Yash Thakur.
