The BCCI announced India A squad for England tour, featuring key players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel (vice-captain & wicketkeeper), and pace bowler Tushar Deshpande. Abhimanyu Easwaran will captain the team in two match-first class against England Lions at Canterbury (May 30) and Northampton (June 6) and an intra-squad fixture against the senior Indian team at Beckenham (June 13-16). Notably, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan will arrive in the team ahead of the second match, providing valuable preparation for the five-match Test series from June 20. Jaiswal, having only finished a scintillating 2024 season with 1,478 runs, is likely to shore up the batting, while Gill looks forward to leading India's Test side for the first time. The squad also includes domestic stars Karun Nair and Ranji Trophy star Harsh Dubey, blending experience with new talent. Source: BCCI, Rajasthan Royals, ICC, Economic Times
