Star batsman Suresh Raina will look to get some batting practice ahead of the upcoming South Africa series along with some of the other fringe players as India A take on full-strength Bangladesh A in a three-match One Day series, starting here on Wednesday.
Some of the other players, who will be aiming to impress the selectors are Karun Nair, Kedar Jadhav, Manish Pandey, Dhawal Kulkarni and Karn Sharma to name a few.
Jadhav and Pandey had in fact played well in India’s last limited overs series in Zimbabwe and are in the 30-member probables list announced for the South Africa series.
The focus will be on the spinners led by leg-spinner Karn Sharma. Karn missed out on the Zimbabwe tour due to a hand injury and has recently done moderately well in the A tri-series.
With dearth of off-spinners in the country, lanky Haryana lad Jayant Yadav will also look to make an impression.
Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav, who was picked last year during the aborted home series against West Indies will also like to get a chance during the three matches to make a case for him.
