Indian batter Shreyas Iyer is set to captain the India A squad for two multi-day matches against Australia A, scheduled to take place in Lucknow from September 16. Iyer's appointment as the captain marks a major moment in his career, as it signals his re-entry into India's red-ball cricket setup following a recent omission from the Asia Cup squad.

Meanwhile, the squad includes prominent players like Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel, Prasidh Krishna and Abhimanyu Easwaran.

"KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj will be added to the squad for the 2nd multi-day match and will replace two players in the squad after the 1st multi-day match," BCCI stated in a release.

Notably, following two multi-day games, both India A and Australia A will be playing three one-day games, scheduled to take place on September 30, October 3 and October 5, respectively, in Kanpur.

India A squad: Shreyas Iyer (C), Abhimanyu Easwaran, N Jagadeesan (WK), Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel (VC & WK), Devdutt Padikkal, Harsh Dubey, Ayush Badoni, Nitish Reddy, Tanush Kotian, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, Khaleel Ahmed, Manav Suthar, Yash Thakur
