Good to see BCCI giving a fillup to Bangladesh as well by inviting their A team for both One day and three day matches. Also good to see that Ranji Champions Karnataka getting the honor of playing in one of the 3 day matches...

In preparation for the South Africans, BCCI has invited BD-A.

and banglas have reciprocated "the honor" of being invited to India finally, the only country where they have not played a test match.....by sending a full strength side as their A side.


It is being reported Kohli and Dhoni will play the ODIs vs BD-A , which are likely to be serious games...
and we are likely to see most of India ODI and test players warm up in these 5 games vs, BD-A

also India plays 5 ODIs/ T20s vs SA before the tests start...so there will be ample of orientation time.
Good Move by BCCI

Will be good contest for both teams...

Has India A squad been announced? It is good that Karnataka, the Ranji Champs will get to play one of the 3-day games... some players who may not be part of India A picture may nevertheless get to play in this game... such as Vinay Kumar, etc.

Bangladesh A get beaten handily by Karnataka second XI... really shows the gap in depth between the established Test sides and Bangladesh...

Now India A dominating Bangla boyz... Dhawan scores effortless 150... Nair and Shankar score 50s... Aaron rips through the top... and then rest finish the job...

Despite losing substantial time to rain...India A on track to score massive victory of the Bangladesh A side.

Shows that Bangladesh needs a lot more high class first class cricket exposure... a few years back they were picked as 6th team in Duleep Trophy... but they were simply outclassed...

May have to join Ranji Plate Division..and if good enough work up to Ranji Elite division.
