Shubman Gill to lead India A against New Zealand A
Though the team is yet to be announced by the BCCI, TOI has learnt that Shubman Gill will lead India ‘A’ in both the four-day games and the three one-dayers. The three four-day fixtures will be held in Bangalore from September 1-4, 8-11 and 15-18, while the one-dayers will be held in Chennai on September 22, 25 and 27. Captained by Tom Bruce, the NZ ‘A’ squad will have seven internationals. The tour resumes the ‘A’ programme, which was stalled due to Covid-19. Taking as many as six five-wicket hauls, Mulani finished streets ahead of others in the wicket-takers’ chart in a truncated Ranji Trophy last season, taking 45 wickets in six games@16.75. The young tweaker also took 29 wickets in three games to bowl Mumbai to the under-25 CK Nayudu Trophy triumph.
