Musheer Khan all set for India ‘A’ call-up to Australia: Reports

Musheer Khan, fresh off his 181 in the first round of the Duleep Trophy, is all set to be included in India A’s squad for the upcoming series against Australia. Despite walking in at 33/1, Musheer showed great command over the situation, including a 205-run eighth-wicket stand with Navdeep Saini to help India B to 321. 

According to PTI, Musheer’s first seven first-class games are more than enough to convince the selectors, with 710 runs at an average of 64.54. The report also added that the India A squad will be picked based on performances in the Duleep Trophy and Irani Cup. 

"There are no fitness issues with Musheer, making him a certainty for India A's tour of Australia,” the reports added. 

Alongside Musheer, it has also been reported that the left-handed all-rounder Manav Suthar, who starred in India C’s win, is also a lock. The left-arm spinner picked up seven wickets in the third innings of the clash, finishing with 7/49. 

"We aim to put him on regular A tours so that by the time Jadeja is done, he becomes the second left-arm orthodox bowler."
