India 'A' to Tour Australia For Quadrangular Series

India have been revealed as the second international team, who will tour Australia, for the upcoming 'A' series in Queensland, to be played during August and September.

Cricket Australia (CA) on Wednesday confirmed India 'A' will join Australia, South Africa 'A' teams and CA's National Performance Squad for a 50-over quadrangular series, which will feature 18 matches across Townsville and Mackay.

India A will compete in the One-Day Quad Series throughout August in Townsville and Mackay, followed by two 4-day matches against Australia A during early September in Brisbane.

CA Executive General Manager - Team Performance Pat Howard said India 'A' would add another competitive edge to the series.

"This is an important series for developing and growing the depth of talent in our pathways. Players in the Australia 'A' and National Performance Squad have been identified as having the potential to play for their country and the national selectors will be watching this series with interest.
