India-A vs Australia-A 2nd Unofficial Test: Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, a series of two unofficial Test matches will be played between India A and Australia A, the first of which Australia won by 7 wickets. Now, the second unofficial test match between the two teams will be played on November 7. In terms of preparation, unofficial testing will be important for both teams. To this end, BCCI has taken a major decision to include opener KL Rahul and wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel in the India A squad.
KL Rahul can take on opening responsibilities
Dhruv Jurel did not get a chance to play in the eleven during the Test series against New Zealand. According to ESPNcricinfo, he is likely to take on the wicketkeeping duties in place of Ishan Kishan in the second unofficial Test. And KL Rahul can play alongside Abhimanyu Easwaran. Rahul had a poor showing in the series against New Zealand. For this reason, he was left out of the eleven.
