The tour will feature two four-day matches and three 50-over games, with all five fixtures scheduled in Puducherry from September 22 to October 11. Notably, the shadow tour will give emerging players and Test hopefuls valuable experience in subcontinental conditions ahead of next year’s BGT series.
Handscomb last played international cricket during Australia’s 2023 tour of India, featuring in all four Tests. He remains one of the most consistent domestic batters and led the Sheffield Shield run-scoring charts last season with 724 runs at an average of 34.47.
Wicketkeeper Sam Harper has earned his first Australia A selection after an impressive Sheffield Shield campaign, where he made a strong impact after moving up to open the batting. Western Australia bowler Mahli Beardman returned from a back stress fracture.
Australia A one-day squad:
Mahli Beardman, Nikhil Chaudhary, Ben Dwarshuis, Jack Edwards, Aaron Hardie, Spencer Johnson, Sam Konstas, Nathan McSweeney, Todd Murphy, Mitchell Owen, Josh Philippe, Tanveer Sangha, Liam Scott, Lachlan Shaw.
George Bailey Explains Australia A Selection Strategy
Chair of selectors George Bailey explained that the tour will help players prepare for the conditions they could face during next year’s Test series in India.
He Was One That We Discussed - George Bailey on Jake Weatherald
Jake Weatherald is a notable omission after losing his Test spot during the recent Bangladesh series. George Bailey said that the selectors wanted to give him more time to settle the technical changes he made during the winter.
"He was one that we discussed whether there was then value in him going on this India A trip, but just to allow a little bit more time to continue to embed the changes so that the gap between what it looks like at training and then how it looks like in performance can hopefully close a little bit. But he'll get plenty of opportunities."
