India A Tour of Sri Lanka: After a decision by the Indian selectors, there has been a reshuffle in the India A team going to Sri Lanka. When India A team was selected for the Sri Lanka tour starting from June 9, Harsh Dubey got a chance in it. But, now Harsh Dubey has been replaced in that team by 27 year old all-rounder Anukul Roy. The reason for Harsh Dubey’s exclusion from the India A team is his selection for the Test and ODI series against Afghanistan.
