Musheer Khan, 19, who has had a fantastic first-class season, is expected to fly to Australia for the India A shadow tour, which will include three ‘four-day’ tests. Musheer’s 181 for India B versus India A follows a double hundred in the Ranji quarter-final and a century in the final. The India A team for the Australia tour will be chosen based on their Duleep Trophy performances as well as the Irani Cup match between Rest of India and Ranji champions Mumbai, which will take place before to the tour.Manav Suthar, a left-arm spinner from Rajasthan who has surpassed Saurabh Kumar as the second-best left-arm spinner behind Ravindra Jadeja and Axar, and Musheer are almost expected to make the cut, despite the possibility of a few Test specialists and pacers being sent early.
Musheer is currently certain to travel with India A on their Australian trip, provided there are no fitness concerns.
Informants surmise that Musheer’s skill and preference for huge scores on important days (the Ranji Trophy final) and against strong assaults (the opposing pace attack, which includes Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, and Akash Deep) will play to his benefit.
Along with his ability to form a partnership with a tailender (Navdeep Saini), he has also stood out for his temperament, scoring 373 balls (62.1 overs out of 116 overs).To ensure that Suthar is the second left-arm orthodox bowler once Jadeja finishes, Ajit Agarkar and his associates want to gradually elevate Suthar to the position of Axar’s backup and send him on frequent A tours.
Nevertheless, KL Rahul’s experience will give him the edge when it comes to finalizing the playing XI in India’s season-opening Test series against Bangladesh, which begins in Chennai on September 19. Sarfaraz Khan’s bold approach in the home series against England surprised everyone.
Rahul is in a good position because of his 50 Test experience, and it is thought that the selection committee and team management are concentrating all of their attention on the November–December Australian tour.Sarfaraz’s youthful exuberance and daring are up against an experienced player who has been a Test captain and a member of the national team for ten years. This presents a decision for the team management.
“Those outside the team don’t know what the procedures are or how a team functions. KL has produced a century in South Africa, one of the best Test knocks in recent memory, and 86 at Hyderabad in the final Test he played before becoming injured in his last three Test matches.”He got hurt instead of being dropped. He is therefore available and fit, has scored fifty in Duleep, has match time, and will get the start, a BCCI source with access to PTI disclosed under anonymity.
