India A vs Australia A 1st Unofficial Test 2025 The world has seen a lot of India vs Pakistan action recently, but attention now turns to the India A vs Australia A series starting September 16. The series begins with two Test matches at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The BCCI has picked a strong squad mostly made up of players on the edge of the Indian Test team though a few well-known names are missing.

Shreyas Iyer will lead the two Test matches, and performing well here could give selectors more reason to bring him back into the main team. His leadership is already proven and is considered one of the best in the country. Another player in a similar spot is Abhimanyu Easwaran. The Bengal batter has been around the team for years but hasn’t always got a chance to play. A good performance against Australia A could earn him a spot in the upcoming series against the West Indies.

In the Duleep Trophy semis, TN batter Jagadeesan scored 197 and 52 against North Zone, making him a strong contender for India A as a specialist batter with Dhruv Jurel as the main wicketkeeper. The squad is full of talented batters like Sai Sudharsan, Ayush Badoni and Devdutt Padikkal and the XI will show who is next in line for the national team.

The team also has strong all-rounders and bowlers, including Harsh Dubey, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Tanush Kotian, Prasidh Krishna and Khaleel Ahmed making it a very strong side compared to Australia A, whose known players like Cooper Connolly, Xavier Bartlett, Sam Konstas, Nathan McSweeney and Todd Murphy have not excelled at the Test level.
