|May 17, 2025
AS expected, some of India's regular Test players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, have been included in the A squad for the two four-day games against England Lions.
Jaiswal, expected to open with KL Rahul in the first Test, is joined by his Rajasthan Royals teammate, Dhruv Jurel. Other Indian Premier League regulars like Ishan Kishan, seemingly back in the scheme of things in red-ball cricket, and Karun Nair are also in the contingent. One of Nair to Jurel are, at least at this point in time, likely to figure in the first Test from June 20.
