Internet Desk: The Indian A team is about to play a 2 days warm up game against Bangladesh, starting in Hyderabad on Sunday.
Hardik pandya and fit again Jayant Yadav will be looking forward to impress the Indian team ahead of a solitary Test match against neighbour Bangladesh.
Hardik, after recovering from a shoulder injury has played an entire limited over’s series. While Jayant after recovering, has played for Haryana in North Zone leg of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Performance of both the players along with Abhinav Mukund’s will be on focus at the Gymkhana Ground as they face Mushfiqur’s men in the game which will not have the official first-class status.
Mukund’s chances of making it to the playing XI will only be possible if one between KL Rahul or Murali Vijay gets injured but this will be a high stake game for both Hardik and Jayant as Kohli and Kumble are likely to field one of them in the all-rounder’s slot.
Having played white ball cricket for sometime, both will be eager to get some good game time especially long spells with the ball — which is supposed to be their primary skill.
For Mukund, a good knock after a satisfying Ranji season will keep the openers on toes and he can also stake claim for third opener’s slot when Australia come calling.
Ranji Trophy’s top run-getter Priyank Panchal will have his first brush against an international attack as he will be facing the likes of Taskin Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan.
The much talked about duo of youngsters — Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant — will also be seen in action.
Left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem will get a chance to test his skills against the likes of Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque.
After zaheer khan’s retirement, India is searching for a left arm seamer for all the three formats. And now, the most intresting thing would be to watch the performance of two left arm seamer Aniket Chaudhary and Chama Milind . While experienced Ashish Nehra is making it in the shortest format, it is the five-day games where they would want some variations.
