Jadeja and Tilak Join India A Squad for Final Unofficial Test in Lincoln

Ravindra Jadeja and Tilak Varma have joined the India A squad for the third and final unofficial Test against New Zealand A in Lincoln, starting on Saturday.

Jadeja, who scored a century and took seven wickets in two Ranji Trophy matches for Saurashtra, will use the four-day match to prepare for the Test series starting on 19 November, and Jasprit Bumrah is also set to play.

Tilak Varma comes in as a replacement for Rishabh Pant, who has been ruled out of the match as he recovers from a side strain.

Dhruv Jurel will continue to lead India A in the match from 7 to 10 November at Bert Sutcliffe Oval.
