India A Set for Second Unofficial Test Against New Zealand A in Christchurch
India A prepares for the second unofficial four-day Test against New Zealand A at Christchurch's Hagley Oval from October 31 to November 3. Devdutt Padikkal's strong form, highlighted by a 199-run innings in the first match, and the inclusion of pacer Mohammed Siraj are key features. KL Rahul will miss the match, replaced by Jharkhand's Shikhar Mohan. India A aims to improve batting consistency against New Zealand A's bowling attack after a drawn first Test.
