India A will board a flight to Australia later this year to play a quadrangular series. The series, scheduled to be in the Australian winter will also feature the South Africa A side, hosts Australia A, and a National Performance squad. These teams will compete against each other in an officially sanctioned 50-over series. The India A and the Australia A team will then go on to play an unofficial 2 Test series against each other in Brisbane.

The ODI series will commence from the 13th of August and will be played at the Tony Ireland Stadium in Townsville and Mackay. The Australians have already announced their 24-man squad for the tri-series.

”This is an important series for developing and growing the depth of talent in our pathways.” He further said – “Players in the Australia A and National Performance Squad have been identified as having the potential to play for their country and the national selectors will be watching this series with interest.”
