The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has revealed the squad for India A ahead of the upcoming three-match one-day series against Australia A. Notably, Indian stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are absent from the lineup that will compete against the Australians starting September 30. The BCCI has selected two distinct squads for this series. Rajat Patidar, the captain who led his team to IPL victory, will head the Indian A team in the first one-day match, while Tilak Varma will take charge in the second and third matches scheduled for October 3 and 5.
All matches are set to be held at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
The Indian Board has designated two squads for the series. Players Tilak Varma, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana, who are currently participating in the Asia Cup 2025, have not been included in the first one-dayer on September 30, which takes place just two days after the Asia Cup concludes. However, they will feature in the second and third matches, with Tilak appointed as captain.
In the meantime, both Kohli and Rohit have been sidelined since the Indian Premier League 2025, with their last appearances for India occurring during the Champions Trophy 2025 in March. Both players have retired from Test and T20 formats, leaving ODIs as the only format they continue to play.
Additionally, prominent players like Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, and Mohammed Siraj are also missing from the squad. Given that the West Indies Test series begins on October 2, these regulars were not selected for the one-day matches against Australia A.
India A vs Australia A schedule:
September 30 at 1:30 PM in Kanpur
October 3 at 1:30 PM in Kanpur
