Delhi: Team India will play a warm-up match with India A for the Test series against England (starting from June 20). But this match will be behind the closed door, meaning it will not be broadcast live. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has decided that this match will be kept away from the eyes of the people so that the plan or strategy of the team does not reach the opponents.

According to a report by PTI, Gautam Gambhir had earlier adopted a similar scheme before the start of Australia.

Players will practice fiercely

This warm-up match will start from June 13 and will last for four days. During this time about 360 overs will be played so that the bowlers can put most of the overs and batsmen can keep pace with the situation in England. Most of the players were playing IPL, so this will be a good chance for them to get used to playing with red ball.

Everyone’s eyes will remain on Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah is playing a red ball match after about six months. The tour of Australia remained incomplete due to injury for him. The team wants Bumrah to put most of the overs so that their fitness can be assessed.

Final decision will be taken

Team India is considering Akash Deep and the famous Krishna for the role of the new bowler. Also who will be the main spinner – Ravindra Jadeja or Kuldeep Yadav – it will also be decided.

Jadeja also bats, while Kuldeep can attack more well. So the team has not been able to decide who will play with them.

Shubman Gill is handling leadership

This match will also be important for the new captain Shubman Gill. Under his leadership, the team will play Test for the first time. Shubman will use it to keep the best XI fixed and to increase the confidence of the team.
