Dhruv Jurel to Captain India A in Unofficial Tests Against New Zealand APreviousNext

Dhruv Jurel will captain India A in a three-match unofficial Test series against New Zealand A starting October 24. The 15-member squad includes 11 players with Test experience, such as KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rishabh Pant, whose participation depends on fitness and scheduling with the senior ODI team. Matches will be held in Lincoln and Christchurch, overlapping with India's senior ODI series against New Zealand, creating potential availability challenges for some players.
