Gill, Saha to share India A captaincy in four-day games against South Africa A

Highly rated batsman Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha will share the captaincy duties for India A in the unofficial Test series against South Africa A, beginning September 9.

Gill is currently part of one-day series against South Africa A being held in Thiruvananthapuram while Saha is warming the bench in India's Test series in the West Indies.

The selection committee on Sunday met at National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru to pick the India A squad.

The first four-day match will be held in Thiruvananthapuram from September 9 while the second match will take place in Mysore from September 17.

Gill has been named captain for the first game and Saha for the second.

"The Committee has picked two different teams for two games considering the ongoing Duleep Trophy and those members who are likely to feature in the final to be played between India Red and India Green have therefore been picked in the squad for second India A match," said chief selector MSK Prasad in a statement on Sunday.

"Accordingly, Rahul Chahar will be replaced by Mayank Markande in the India Green team and Ishan Kishan will return to the India Red team for Duleep Trophy final."
