Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan look all but set to be part of the India A squad for the unofficial Test series against Australia A. Ruturaj didn't play an unofficial Test in England. Ishan hasn't played for India since 2023. India A cricket team will host Australia A in an unofficial Test and ODI series from September 16 to October 5. The series includes two unofficial Tests and three one-dayers. Both series could be a star-studded affair due to the presence of capped players. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma could feature in the one-dayers before they travel to Australia for the ODI series. As the fans wait for the squads for both series, here we have a look at the likely India A squad for the unofficial Test series Abhimanyu Easwaran and Ruturaj Gaikwad look set to face the new ball against Australia A. Both are uncapped in Test cricket. Easwaran travelled to Australia and England but didn't get an opportunity. Ruturaj, on the other hand, went to West Indies with the Test team in 2023. Easwaran is likely to retain his spot in the Test team irrespective of his performance in the unofficial Test series. Sai Sudharsan is likely to be asked to play for India A before the home series against West Indies. Sudharsan made his Test debut against England. Karun Nair and Sarfaraz Khan look like confirmed selections. One of them is likely to make it to the Test team. Karun travelled to England but he didn't have a memorable series. There are no doubts over Ishan Kishan's inclusion in the team. He was set to replace Rishabh Pant in the Test team for the fifth game but he was himself down with an injury. Narayan Jagadeesan, who travelled to England as Pant's replacement, should also be named in the India A team. Devdutt Padikkal should be part of the team

Written by Atharva Jori Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field, at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre; 66-foot) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails (small sticks) balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these exchanges. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...

Written by Atharva Jori Chess is a board game for two players. It is an abstract strategy game which involves no hidden information and no elements of chance. It is played on a square board containing 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to as White and Black, each control sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns; each type of piece has a different pattern of movement. An enemy piece may be captured (removed from the board) by moving one's own piece onto the square it occupies; the object of the game is to checkmate (threaten with inescapable capture) the enemy king. There are also several ways a game can end in a draw. Left to right: white king, black rook, black queen, white pawn, black knight, white bishop
