The series of informal Test matches will be played between India A and Australia A from 16 September, for which the Indian team has been announced. Shreyas Iyer has been made the captain of the team for this series. Squad has been announced for this two -match series, but in the middle of the series, there will be major changes in the India A team and 2 superstars of Senior Team India will enter this series. These two players are KL Rahul and Mohammad Siraj, who will be seen playing under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer.
On one hand, when Team India will be showing its strength in the Asia Cup 2025, an Indian team will also be taking iron from the Australia team. The Australian A team is visiting India for this series, where there will also be a ODI series between the two teams after these two matches. There is a lot of discussion about that ODI series because it is believed that Rohit Sharma may be a part of India A in this ODI series before the tour of Australia.
Rahul and Siraj will come in second match
But before that, the attention will be on these two matches, in which Shreyas Iyer has been given the command of India-A, while Dhruv Jurlel has been made the vice-captain of the team. BCCI, along with the team announcement for this series, has also given information that Test team star opener KL Rahul and fast bowler Mohammad Siraj will also join the squad for the second match. When these two players arrive, two players will be excluded from the existing squad.
Will prepare for Test series
It is very special for Rahul and Siraj to participate in this match. In fact, the second match lasting for four days will be played in Lucknow from 23 to 26 September. This match will be a chance to return to cricket action for both of them, who have been on a break since the tour of England ended on August 4. Through this match, Rahul and Siraj will be able to prepare themselves for the Indo-West Indies Test series starting from October 2 and will also be able to get match fitness.
