Team India A will tour Australia later this month. In this tour, India has to play a series of two four-day matches against Australia A. Team India's 15-member team is going to be announced for this tour. According to the report, right-handed batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad can captain Team India for this tour.
Ruturaj is a big contender for captaincy
According to the report, talented right-handed batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has already left his mark in domestic and international cricket, is being considered a strong contender to lead the 15-member India A team. Apart from Ruturaj Gaikwad, other prominent opening batsmen like Abhimanyu Easwaran and Sai Sudarshan can also be included in the India A team.
