On the Australia tour, Virat Kohli scored 190 runs and Rohit Sharma scored 31 runs.
Before the England tour in June, India A team will play three four-day matches against England Lions. The matches will start just after the end of the IPL on May 25 and will end before the start of the Test series on June 20. Out-of-form batsmen of Team India will have a chance to regain form by joining India-A.
A series can decide the selection According to the report of ESPN Cricinfo, BCCI has kept the India-A series so that the batsmen can prove themselves here. Young players who performed well against England Lions may also get a chance in the Test series. At the same time, if senior players do not perform well even after joining India-A, then they can also be dropped from the team.
After poor performance in BGT, need for practice match increased Team India recently lost the 5-Test series 3-1 in Australia. Except Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Nitish Reddy, most of the team’s batsmen remained flops. Virat Kohli could score only one century, while captain Rohit Sharma could only score 31 runs in the series.
After the poor performance of the batsmen, a demand was raised that all the players should also participate in domestic cricket and practice matches. Now the Test team has to play a 5-match series in England from June 20. It will be important to see whether the out-of-form batsmen will take part in the practice match against England Lions before the series or not?
Captain Rohit had to expose himself Due to poor batting, India lost the series 3-0 against New Zealand at home. The situation in Australia had become so bad that captain Rohit had to sit on the bench before the last Test in Sydney due to poor form.
Senior batsman Virat Kohli’s form was also not special during this period. He could score only one fifty against New Zealand and only one century against Australia. In Australia, he was out in the same manner every time, he was caught behind the wicket on a ball going outside the off stump. This weakness of Virat started from the England tour in 2014, now he is preparing to play Test in England once again.
Playing in Ranji Trophy is also not confirmed There will also be a Ranji Trophy match before the start of the ODI series against England. Young players like Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will take part in this match. The suspense still remains on the participation of Rohit and Virat. Rohit plays domestic cricket from Mumbai and Virat from Delhi, the match is going to start from 23 January.
The next match of Ranji Trophy will again start from 30 January and continue till 2 February. The ODI series against England will start from 6th February. That means the players who are part of the ODI squad will be able to play only the Ranji match on January 23. Because during the second match he will have to join the practice session of Team India.
Sarfaraz-Jurel had played on the last tour BCCI often organizes India A series before the Test series in England and Australia. The team’s last tour of England was in 2021, when players like Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna played from India-A. All four players have now become a part of Team India.
