BCCI's Latest Move Ahead Of Australia Tour Seen As Indication Of Much 'Concern' After New Zealand Hammering
India stars KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel, according to a report in ESPN Cricinfo, are being sent early to Australia and will play a game for India A against Australia A. After India's loss against New Zealand in a Test series at home, the Rohit Sharma-led side is under big scrutiny.

"Don't Rest...": Sanjay Manjrekar's Subtle 'Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma' Warning To Ajit Agarkar
Criticism continues to pour in thick and heavy in the wake of Team India's 0-3 Test series defeat against New Zealand.
