Nikhil Chaudhary, Tanveer Sangha included in Australia A squad for India tour

The National Selection Panel (NSP) on Tuesday, September 01, has revealed Australia A squads for their upcoming tour of India. Australia A are slated to play a couple of four-day encounters, while three one-day games have also been scheduled as a part of the tour. All the matches will be played in Puducherry.

Peter Handscomb, Brendan Doggett, Sam Konstas, Nathan McSweeney, Jhye Richardson and Todd Murphy have all played Test and international cricket while Mitch Owen, Jack Edwards, Tanveer Sangha, Liam Scott, Spencer Johnson, Ben Dwarshuis, Josh Phillipe, Aaron Hardie, Nikhil Chaudhary and Mahli Beardman have played in ODI or T20 Internationals.

“We are excited by these squads and what they might achieve out of the series. Many of these players have played international cricket, whilst for others it’s a continuation of previous opportunities across Australia A and CAXI formats," George Bailey, the chief of selectors, said in an official statement.

“We consider these tours an important part of performance and developing game styles in sub-continent conditions as part of our continued investment into the Australia A program. It’s a strong representation of players who will be in contention to be part of the group we take to India next year or see as having potential for further opportunities into the future,” Bailey said further.
