While all eyes are currently on the Asia Cup, another important contest is set to begin in Lucknow. India A will lock horns with Australia A in the first unofficial Test from September 16 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. This series offers a stage for fringe players and youngsters to stake their claim for the senior Indian Test side. With the India vs West Indies series in just over two weeks’ time, impressing the selectors here would be massive.
The first four-day match begins at 9:30 AM IST each day, with toss scheduled at 9:00 AM. Shreyas Iyer will captain the Indian side, hoping to use this opportunity to press his case for a Test return ahead of India’s home assignments against West Indies and South Africa.
