MUMBAI: India A cricket will reportedly be back on the calendar as the BCCI is in talks with New Zealand Cricket (NZC) to host a full-fledged series at home beginning September 3.
New Indian Express reports that while the tour is all but confirmed, discussions on the composition of the matches are underway. One plan is to play three four-day matches and three 50-over matches. The other plan is to keep four-day matches to two and play three 50-overs and two T20 matches.
With the Duleep Trophy scheduled to begin on September 8, NIE reports that the selectors have already been instructed to pick the teams accordingly. There is a strong chance the three teams for Duleep Trophy will include a good mix of Under-23 players, who have been part of the National Cricket Academy camp recently.
