Galle, July 1: Rising stars Gurnoor Brar and Manav Suthar are expected to get a look-in in the India A playing eleven when they take on Sri Lanka A in the second ‘Test’ starting here on Thursday.
The first four-day ‘Test’ ended in a draw with opener Sai Sudharsan and skipper Dhruv Jurel scoring centuries. Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi marked his India ‘A’ debut with a match-haul of five wickets, including four in the first innings.
Since this an exposure tour with an idea of giving every India A player an opportunity, the team management, headed by Hrishikesh Kanitkar, could be ringing in a few changes in order to ensure playing time for every squad member.
Hence, one can expect that Brar, who recently made an impressive debut in the ODI against Afghanistan, will be included as India senior team looks to prepare its second line of pacers ahead of the tour of New Zealand and home series against Australia early next year.
Similarly Suthar, who made his Test debut against Afghanistan with a 10-wicket haul, followed by a short and successful county stint for Warwickshire, will also headline the slow bowling attack. (PTI)
