Shreyas Iyer to lead India 'A' against South Africa 'A' and in quadrangular tourney

Shreyas Iyer to lead India 'A' as the BCCI announces squads for various upcoming assignments

Shreyas Iyer to lead India A

Bengaluru, July 23: The All India senior selection committee on Monday (July 23) selected a slew of teams for various assignments and Shreyas Iyer will captain two of those sides - India 'A' for the two four-day games against South Africa 'A' and in the quadrangular series that also involves South Africa 'A', Australia 'A' and India 'B'.

Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey will lead India 'B' in the quadrangular series. The India 'A' squad for the four-day games against Australia 'A' will be announced soon, stated a release from the BCCI.

The selectors also picked up squads for upcoming Duleep Trophy and India Blue, Red and Green will be led respectively by Faiz Fazal, Abhinav Mukund and Parthiv Patel.

Meanwhile, reports said the two matches between India and South Africa 'A', which were scheduled in Belagavi on July 30 and August 4, are likely to be shifted to Bengaluru, courtesy heavy rains in that part of Karnataka.

The rain has hampered the pitch preparations in Belagavi. "The pitch could not be readied due to continuous rain and the issue has been brought to the notice of authorities concerned. Matches are expected to be shifted," said Deepak Pawar, who is supervising Belagavi stadium.

The BCCI assistant manager (sports development) Mayank Parik and assistant manager (logistics) Anant Datar had inspected the stadium in Belagavi recently.
