Indian batter KL Rahul alongside young wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel are set to play in the second ‘unofficial Test’ for India A against Australia A in Melbourne.
The Test match will commence from November 7.
Rahul and Jurel were part of the Indian squad for the New Zealand series but while the former did play the opening match, Jurel hasn’t managed to get a game since Rishabh Pant’s comeback.
The Indian team management wants to give everyone a fair chance to get game time under their belt especially the reserves who could come into action anytime in a marathon series.
This Test match against Australia A can turn out to be quite beneficial for both the players as while Rahul will be trying to play a big knock to make his way back into the Test team, Jurel will be getting some much-needed game time.
