The BCCI, after Team India’s two successive Test series wins Down Under, has made elaborate plans for the upcoming IND vs AUS series, starting on November 22. If that is not enough, IND A is scheduled to play a few FC matches in against AUS A, and the young team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, has left for Australia.
On Thursday, IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad release a picture of India cricketers Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mukesh Kumar, and Khaleel Ahmed, along with Tanush Kotian and Manav Suthar. IND A will also play an intra-squad match with the Indian team, to help them prepare better on November 15, followed by a match with the Australia Prime Minister’s XI.
IND A Squad Includes Abhimanyu Easwaran
The BCCI has picked up a very strong IND A squad for the tour, that also includes domestic giant Abhimanyu Easwaran, who has scored four tons in his last four FC matches. Also, there will also be Ishan Kishan, who after last year’s debacle, has found his form going and has returned with centuries in Duleep Trophy and Ranji Trophy.
IND vs AUS Schedule
As far as India’s schedule for the series is concerned, the 1st Test starts on Nov 22 in Perth, followed by 2nd Test in Adelaide on Dec 6. Then for the third Test, Brisbane will play host from Dec 14, while the last two matches will be played in Melbourne and Sydney. The series concludes on Jan 8.
