Apart from them, Umran Malik and Arzan Nagwaswalla retain their spots whereas Yash Dayal and Mukesh Kumar have also managed to get in.Kuldeep has been in and out of the India side and the series will present him an opportunity to continue his strong comeback post his injury troubles.The first four-day fixture gets underway from September 1. Once the red-ball series concludes, the teams will also play each other in three one-day games in Chennai later between September 22 and 27. Squads for the white-ball games to be played in Chennai will be announced later.India A squad: Priyank Panchal (Captain), Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraaz Khan, Tilak Varma, KS Bharat (wk), Upendra Yadav (wk), Kuldeep Yadav, Saurabh Kumar, Rahul Chahar, Prasidh Krishna, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar, Yash Dayal, Arzan NagwaswallaDisclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
