India A vs South Africa A ODIs: Full schedule, match timings, streaming

India A and South Africa A will square off in a three-match unofficial ODI series from November 13 to 19 at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, a contest that promises to showcase the next generation of white-ball stars from both nations. The series serves as an important build-up for India’s senior team ahead of their ODI series against South Africa starting November 30.

 

Led by Tilak Varma, with Ruturaj Gaikwad as vice-captain, the India A squad blends emerging talent with international experience. Several familiar names — including Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, and Harshit Rana — will use this series to stake a claim for higher honours ahead of the South Africa tour. 

 

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli rested

Contrary to speculation, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have not been included in the India A squad for the series. There were murmurs that the two senior pros might feature to gain match fitness ahead of the ODIs in South Africa, but the BCCI selection committee has decided otherwise. The board has not clarified whether the two were approached or consulted about playing for the A side.

 

Both Rohit and Kohli made their long-awaited returns to international cricket last month in the ODI series against Australia. Rohit, who was named Player of the Series after scoring 202 runs in three matches, looked refreshed and in fine touch. Kohli, meanwhile, overcame two early dismissals to end the series with a solid half-century in Sydney.
