Player Picks
Jean du Plessis SA-A | WK
Jean du Plessis scored a century and an unbeaten fifty in the first unofficial Test, batting at no.4. He seems to be the safest captaincy choice to have in your fantasy XI.
Rajat Patidar IN-A | BAT
On the back of 3795 runs in first-class cricket, Rajat Patidar received a call-up to represent the India A squad in the second unofficial Test. He is averaging 45.72 in the red-ball format with 11 centuries and 22 fifties.
Rubin Hermann SA-A | WK
No.3 batter Rubin Hermann scored 95 off 146 balls with 15 fours in the first innings of the first unofficial Test, which makes him a brilliant top pick.
Sarfaraz Khan IN-A | BAT
Sarfaraz Khan, batting at no.4, scored a valuable 68 off 85 with seven fours and one six to keep India A ahead of the opposition. Moreover, he scored a century in the intra-squad match just before the start of the second unofficial Test.
Akash Deep IN-A | BOWL
Bengal medium pacer has 90 scalps from just 42 games in the Indian red-ball domestic circuit. He goes into this game as one of the best-budget picks.
Sai Sudharsan IN-A | BAT
Sai Sudharsan couldn't capitalize on his 14-run knock in the first unofficial Test. However, the opening batter has decent numbers in red-ball cricket. He has 843 runs from 20 innings with two centuries and three fifties.
