Karun Nair and Manish Pandey will lead India A in unofficial Test and one-day tri-series, respectively. The tri-series also features South Africa and Australia. It will be followed by a four-day match against South Africa A team.
India and Australia will play the opener in Groenkloof on July 26. Pandey, however, is yet to clear his fitness test. The squad features domestic limited-overs performers such as Krunal Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Basil Thampi.
Meanwhile, the team for four-day matches is full of Ranji Trophy players. Priyank Panchal, the top-scorer in the season gone by, Ishan Kishan and Ankit Bawne have made the cut.
