India A vs England Lions: Focus on KL Rahul and pacers Avesh Khan, Varun Aaron in first unofficial Test

Wayanad: England Lions will be one of the innumerable stops that out-of-form opener KL Rahul will encounter in his road to redemption as he gears up to play for India A in the first unofficial Test. The match will also feature two of India’s quickest bowlers in young Avesh Khan and the not so young Varun Aaron, who will be keenly watched by the national selection committee. [caption id=“attachment_5641541” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]File image of KL Rahul. Reuters File image of KL Rahul. Reuters[/caption] Virat Kohli wants three more fast bowlers which will broaden the base of the current pool of speed merchants and that’s the specific reason why injury prone not known for his consistency has been recalled. It’s all about sheer speed and same for Avesh, who has really intimidated the domestic batsmen during the season. Rahul hasn’t exactly set the stage on fire during the limited overs games having come back from an interim suspension for his sexist comments on a television chat show. India chief coach Ravi Shastri has recently made it clear that he would like Rahul to play a lot of A games in order to regain form. The India ‘A’ team’s head coach Rahul Dravid also backed the Karnataka opener and said he was not worried about the batsman’s run of low scores. The India ‘A’ team led by Ankit Bawne, comprising domestic performers, will be favourites against the Lions, who have not had the best of time on the tour so far. Kerala all-rounder Jalaj Saxena finds a place after a strong Ranji Trophy season as has Siddhesh Lad along with spinners Shahbaz Nadeem and Mayank Markande. The visiting Englishmen, on the other hand, have had a tough time, being hammered in the five-match ODI series, losing 1-4 and will look for redemption. Captain Sam Billings, who played for Chennai Super Kings in last year’s IPL, has been in good form and will look to carry it into the longer format too. The young team includes players with Test experience, including Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope. Lanky paceman Jamie Overton has impressed with his performances and will be assisted by Tom Bailey. The spinners-Danny Briggs and Amar Vardi will have a big role to play on a track expected to be bowler-friendly on the evidence of the recent Ranji matches here featuring Kerala. Teams (from): India ‘A’: Ankit Bawne (Captain), KL Rahul, AR Easwaran, Priyank Panchal, Ricky Bhui, Siddhesh Lad, K S Bharat (WK), Jalaj Saxena, Shahbaz Nadeem, Mayank Markande, Navdeep Saini, Sharadul Thakur, Avesh Khan, Varun Aaron. England Lions: Sam Billings (captain), Dominic Bess, Danny Briggs, Tom Bailey, Ben Duckett, Lewis Gregory, Zak Chappell, Sam Hain, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Tom Moores, Ollie Pope, Jamie Porter, Alex Davies, Amar Vardi.
