In all the A tours in 2018, the pattern was that every player gets 2 to 3 matches and then rested so that others could also get exposure as well. It is actually a good strategy imo. Only Rituraj, Ricky Bhui and Himmat Singh are new additions to the A squads.

Ranji trophy semis and finals to be played so some players are excluded. For example Mayank Agarwal, R Samarth, Manish Pandey, Krishnappa Gowtham and Karun Nair will be representing Karnataka, Rahul is suspended, Prithvi being injured, Basil Thampi, Jalaj Saxena and Sanju Samson will be representing Kerala, Rajneesh Gurbani will be representing Vidarbha.

Siraj, Vijay Shankar and Shubman Gill are selected for tour to NZ.

I would have liked to see pacers Shivam Mavi and Ankit Rajpoot of Uttar Pradesh in one of these squads. Shivam Dubey the Mumbai all-rounder as well. Pace attack could definitely be better than what they have selected.

This isn't going well for England.

I like the idea of a ban being temporarily lifted!

Looked good for England until the change of innings.

Briggs is having a very good tour.
