The Men’s Selection Committee has picked the India A squad for the upcoming ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 to be played from 18th to 27th October 2024 in Muscat, Oman.

India A are placed in Group B with Oman, Pakistan A and UAE while Afghanistan A, Bangladesh A, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka A form Group A. India A will begin their campaign by facing Pakistan A on October 19, 2024 at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground in Muscat.

The A squad features fifteen names, and majority of them are currently busy in the first round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for the opening round. All the announced names will have to vacate their state teams for the second and third rounds to ply their trade for the Emerging side for the tournament starting October 19.

Left-hand batter from Hyderabad, Tilak Varma will be captaining the team, and Punjab all-rounder Abhishek Sharma is set to be his deputy. Both of them have played for the senior team, and as a result, bring in the exposure of international cricket. The wicketkeeping duties will be taken care of by Prabhsimran Singh and Anuj Rawat, while Vaibhav Arora and Rahul Chahar are among the frontline bowlers named for the continental tournament.

India A squad:

Tilak Varma (C), Abhishek Sharma (VC), Prabhsimran Singh (WK), Nishant Sindhu, Ramandeep Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Ayush Badoni, Anuj Rawat (WK), Sai Kishore, Hrithik Shokeen, Rahul Chahar, Vaibhav Arora, Anshul Kamboj, Aquib Khan, Rasik Salam
