After the two unofficial Tests, India A will now host Australia A for three 50-over matches in Puducherry. Here's all you need to know about the series.
The three unofficial ODIs will be played on October 6, 9 and and 11, respectively. Each of the three games are scheduled to commence at 9:30am local time.
Hardik Pandya, who was initially included in the squad for the 50-over series, was ruled out after a fresh calf injury. Suryansh Shedge has been named as his replacement. Devdutt Padikkal, who marshalled the troops in the four-day games, will now be deputy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. Naman Dhir, who was picked in India's T20I squad for the five-match series against the West Indies, has been replaced by Anukul Roy.
The visitors, on the other hand, have included Riley Meredith and Will Sutherland to their squad, replacing Jack Edwards and Aaron Hardie. While the former has been called up to the senior squad on the tour to South Africa, the latter has been sidelined due to a knee issue.
