On Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) selection committee headed by MSK Prasad has announced India ‘A’ squad for the tour of England which will commence on June 22.
The Indian squads for both One-Day tri-series and four-day matches have been announced by the Indian selection panel. While Karun Nair will lead the side in the whites, Shreyas Iyer has been handed over the leadership responsibility in the limited overs. However, a lot of new players have been picked by the selectors by keeping the future of the Indian cricket in mind it seems and all these players are set to be coached by Rahul Dravid once again.
