Team India has to play a 5 -match Test series against England, which starts from June 20. Before this Test series, an informal Test series of two matches is also being played between India A and England Lions. The first match of this Test series ended on a draw. In the first match, the players of both teams performed well. The second test is currently being played at the county ground of Northampton. In this match, India A batted first and scored 348 runs losing all wickets in their first innings. For the team, KL Rahul batted in an innings of 116 runs while batting. In response, India bowlers have also left their mark in this match.
Khalil Ahmed bowled brilliantly
In this match, India A fast bowler Khalil Ahmed took four important wickets while bowling deadly. He bowled very well and put pressure on the batsmen of the hosts. Khalil Ahmed first dismissed Jordan Cox. Jordan Cox was dismissed for 45 runs in this match. After this, Khalil sent captain and wicketkeeper James Royu back to the pavilion for 10 runs. The Indian bowler took his third wicket as George Hill, who was dismissed on the first ball without opening an account in this match.
After this, Khalil also made Chris Woakes his victim. English all -rounders were able to score only five runs. In this way, on the third day of the match, Khalil Ahmed dismissed these four players in just four overs and gave their team a comeback in the match. England Lions started very well, but Khalil’s havoc put it in a difficult situation. Apart from Khalil Ahmed, the rest of the bowlers have also played their role well in this match.
Team will come from India?
Khalil Ahmed has not been included in Team India of the five -match Test series to be played against England. The rest of the players have got a place in this team but Khalil Ahmed has been ignored. However, while bowling very well for India A, he has told the selectors that if they need, they can also participate in the 5 match Test series. Currently, Team India has many dhakad bowlers in the Test series against England and Khalil Ahmed can be included in the team only when a star bowler is injured. But Khalil has worked to impress head coach Gautam Gambhir with his performance.
