India Vs India A Live Streaming: When & Where To Watch Intra-Squad Game?
Last Updated:
Shubman Gill-led India face Abhimanyu Easwaran's India A in a crucial intra-squad game ahead of the England tour.
India vs India A Intra-Squad Match Live Streaming Details: Shubman Gill-led India will take on Abhimanyu Easwaran's India A in the final match of the visitors' preparation ahead of the tour of England, as Gill & Co. look to make a mark with a new-look Indian team.
The game will be the senior side's sole simulation match before the first Test against England in Leeds from June 20.
The intra-squad match acts like a precursor to the Test. The Indian side, under head coach Gautam Gambhir, chose a 'closed door' session to prevent England from getting any ideas on the tactical front.
India had done the same thing during the tour of Australia earlier this year, although that didn't pay off.
As bowling coach Morne Morkel said on Wednesday, building the stamina to bowl and field for an entire day is very different from normal net sessions.
The four-day match, which does not have the official first-class status, gives batters a second go if someone is dismissed early.
With 360 overs of game simulation available over four days, it will allow the management to permit the bowling unit to get enough overs under their belt.
That would be handy in ensuring that the bowlers, be it a spinner or a pacer, have the requisite rhythm in an actual game. Gambhir will have some work to do in terms of zeroing in on a lone specialist spinner for Headingley.
There is Ravindra Jadeja, whose superior batting becomes a massive factor in SENA nations but against England's hard-hitters, Kuldeep Yadav's versatility could complement ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah if India look to pick 20 wickets.
