India A have made some adjustments to their white-ball squad for the upcoming three-match series against Australia A. Shreyas Iyer, who was not originally included, has now been appointed as captain. Initially considered for the two-match Test series against the West Indies, Iyer chose to take a break from red-ball cricket, leading to his selection as captain for the A team’s limited-overs series.
Rajat Patidar, who was initially named captain of India A, has been reassigned as captain of the Rest of India squad for the Irani Cup. Patidar will lead the Rest of India team as they face Ranji Trophy champions Vidarbha, starting October 1.
Meanwhile, Abhimanyu Easwaran has led the Rest of India and India A squads for the last few years, but Patidar seems to have taken over the role. The Madhya Pradesh cricketer is also in the fray for the Test squad.
