Sam Consontas and Nathan McSwini, who made Test debut for Australia in the previous boarder-Gavaskar Trophy against India, were included in the Australia ‘A’ team on Thursday, which will play four-day two matches against the India ‘A’ team in Lucknow next month.
Contenn had replaced Makswini during the previous India-Australia series but could not confirm his place in the top order. His performance in the Caribbean tour was disappointing while his team completely dominated the West Indies.
The nineteen -year -old Contas ‘A’ is the only player of the current Test team selected in the team while other international players include McSwini, Cooper Konoli and spinner Tod Murphy.
Constas had a great impact on its debut in the Melbourne Test. He scored an aggressive half -century and pushed him to the shoulder by Indian superstar Virat Kohli. Later he also had an argument with other Indian players but could not meet the initial expectations.
He was sent back to play in Sheffield Shield from a series of two Tests against Sri Lanka for not making a place in the XI.
Murphy, who has played seven Tests so far, played all four matches of the Boarder-Gavaskar Trophy during the 2022-23 tour of India and took 14 wickets in the series in which Australia lost 1-2.
“Cricket.com.AU ‘, quoting Australian selectors president George Bailey, said,” The visit to the subcontinent would provide an opportunity to use many unique challenges and various skills with bat and ball. “
He said, “We hope that repeated experience of these circumstances will help players to develop an effective method and understanding of their game for future subcontinent tours.”
Jason Sangha, who scored an unbeaten 202 against Sri Lanka A in Darwin last month in the red ball team, and Matthew Renshaw, who have experience playing Test in India, will miss.
The four-day two matches will be played in Lucknow from September 16-19 and 23-26 September, while three ODIs will be held on 30 September, 3 and 5 October respectively..(Language)
