WATCH: Yashasvi Jaiswal sparks controversy after refusing to walk following umpire's decision in India A vs England Lions clash
Yashasvi Jaiswal stood his ground and refused to walk.
New Delhi: India A opener Yashasvi Jaiswal expressed dissatisfaction after being dismissed for 17 runs in the second unofficial Test against England Lions. Umpire's decision to give him out leg before wicket (LBW) off a Chris Woakes delivery, despite Jaiswal's apparent amusement at the call, ended his innings early.
During England Lions' match against India, Yashasvi Jaiswal was stumped in the seventh over. After winning the toss and electing to field, England's captain, James Rew, saw Jaiswal miss a full delivery, leading to his dismissal. Jaiswal initially disputed the umpire's decision before eventually leaving the field. The Barmy Army subsequently commented on the incident.

In the first unofficial Test match at Canterbury, Jaiswal scored 24 and 64 runs. His opening partnership with KL Rahul in the upcoming first Test at Headingley, Leeds (starting June 20th), is now confirmed after both players batted together in the second unofficial Test. Rahul, absent from the first match, joined the team after obtaining permission from the BCCI and demonstrated promising form with three boundaries.
India's upcoming cricket series will begin with a practice match between the India A team and the senior national team. This match follows the current game and serves as preparation for the series opener. Jaiswal and Rahul will be key players for India in this series, as they are expected to fill the void left by the retired Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The five-Test series presents a significant challenge for both players.
During India's Australian tour, Yashasvi Jaiswal's performance stood out, achieving the highest individual run total of 391, including a top score of 161. This was one of only three centuries scored by Indian batsmen on the tour. In contrast, KL Rahul is a seasoned campaigner in England, embarking on his third tour. His previous tours yielded 299 runs in 2018 (including a high score of 149) and 315 runs in 2021 (including a century at Lord's).
KL Rahul's performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was mixed; while he scored 276 runs, a relatively modest total compared to his potential, he outperformed many of his teammates, achieving two half-centuries. His return to the opening position generates significant expectation that he will bolster India's batting against England's less experienced pace bowlers.

Anshul Kamboj shines as India A set England Lions back on Day Two of unofficial Test
Anshul Kamboj (Screengrab) England Lions reached 58 for one at lunch, trailing by 290 runs after India A was dismissed for 348 on the second day of the unofficial Test match on Saturday. Tom Haines (28 not out) and Emilio Gay (3 not out) were at the crease when lunch was called. The initial breakthrough came from Anshul Kamboj, who dismissed Ben McKinney (12) with an outswinger, caught by wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. This dismissal came shortly after McKinney was given a reprieve at point in the eighth over. Despite consistent pressure from India A bowlers, the Lions managed to score freely. Gay faced challenging spells from the Indian bowlers, although batting conditions were more favourable compared to the first day's overcast weather and grassy pitch. India A, starting the day at 319 for seven, added only 29 runs to their overnight score. Tanush Kotian scored 15 from 37 deliveries with two boundaries, whilst Kamboj contributed just two runs. Joshua Tongue found success by removing both overnight batsmen - bowling Kotian and trapping Kamboj lbw. He also contributed to Tushar Deshpande's (11) run-out dismissal. Khaleel Ahmed remained unbeaten on seven. Brief scores: India A: 348 all out in 89.3 overs ( KL Rahul 116, Karun Nair 40, Dhruv Jurel 52, Nitish Kumar Reddy 34; Chris Woakes 3/60, George Hill 2/56) England Lions: 58 for 1 in 16 overs (Tom Haines batting 28; Anshul Kamboj 1/13).
