India A vs Sri Lanka A: How to watch live on TV and online, date, time, venue

India A's red-ball series in Sri Lanka begins on Thursday, June 25. The first of the two-match unofficial Test series against Sri Lanka A will be played in Galle. The visitors, under keeper-batter Dhruv Jurel, arrive for the longer-format leg of the tour with selectors keeping a close eye on performances as India explores options beyond the senior squad.

Among the players attracting interest is pace bowler Aquib Nabi, whose domestic performances placed him firmly in the spotlight. The Jammu & Kashmir seamer took 60 wickets in the Ranji Trophy-winning campaign of his side but was not picked in the Indian squad for the one-off Test against Afghanistan. His outing in Sri Lanka gives him another chance to make an impression ahead of India's scheduled tour of New Zealand later this year where conditions are traditionally helpful for fast bowlers.

There are a number of other players who will also be looking to advance their position in the national selection picture. Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal are the batsmen in the pool eyeing to improve their chances in the race for top-order slots. Fast bowler Anshul Kamboj returns looking to rebuild momentum after a challenging Test debut in England last year, while recent ODI debutant Harsh Dubey continues his progression through the ranks.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Gurnoor Brar are also part of the squad to add more experience and depth to the touring party. Now, unofficial Tests are not internationals but they are still an important examination for selectors. The series is another opportunity for India to test their bench strength and find players who can graduate to the highest level of the game.
