Tilak To Captain India ‘A’ In 50-over Tri-series In Sri Lanka; Sooryavanshi, Priyansh Included
T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup: Left-handed batter Tilak Varma will lead India ‘A’ in the upcoming 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka, with young batters Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Priyansh Arya among the notable inclusions in the squad announced by the senior men’s selection committee on Thursday.
The tri-series, scheduled to be held from June 9-21 in Dambulla, will also feature hosts Sri Lanka ‘A’, and Afghanistan ‘A’. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said India A is also slated to play two multi-day matches against Sri Lanka A in Galle, with the squad for the red-ball fixtures to be announced at a later date.
This is the first time explosive left-handed opener Sooryavanshi has been named in India ‘A’ setup, after making an unforgettable mark in every format and level he’s played so far. Earlier this year, Sooryavanshi was named Player of the Final and Player of the Tournament in India winning the Under-19 World Cup earlier this year.
