Australia-A team has been announced for the India tour. Two unofficial Test matches will be played between the two teams next month. After this, a series of three unofficial ODI matches will be played. Both four-day Test matches will be played at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. After this, the ODI series will be played at Green Park in Kanpur.
It has now become a little difficult for Sam Constas to retain his place in the Test team for the Ashes series. The opener has been selected in the Australia A team for the tour of India next month. Constas was the only current Test player to be selected for two first-class matches against India A.
