The Test series against Australia will be crucial in determining which two teams will go to the final, as both India and Australia are keen on playing in the final of the WTC 2025-27. Ahead of the next Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which is scheduled to start next year on January 21, captain Shubman Gill comes up with a suggestion.
The hosts of the next BGT can prepare spin-friendly tracks, but Indian batters themselves have a history of going wrong-footed against quality spin bowling, and Shubman Gill knows it very well. So, as per a Times of India report, the India captain wants to test most of his Test team batters against the Australia A cricket team on turners.
Shubman Gill wants to test his Test team batters against Australia A
“Indian batters have not been at their best against spin at home over the last two years. Gill suggested that if a few batters could be given game time against Australia ‘A’, with the pitches taking some turn during the course of the matches, it would help them prepare for the BGT. Obviously, the touring Australia A team won’t be given absolute rank turners with an eye on the BGT, but it wouldn’t hurt if the pitches took some turn later in the match,” a BCCI source informed TOI.
The Irani Cup schedule is likely to dent Shubman Gill's plans
“The problem with the schedule is that there will be very few Test players available for the ‘A’ match. Otherwise, the Rest of India team for the Irani Cup will not be as strong as the selectors would like it to be, and that could affect the standard of the match,” the source added.
