India ‘A’ gets KL Rahul boost because DC star provides himself to prepare for England’s tests
KL Rahul played for Australia quickly as well as BGT as well as four-day games.
In a superb news for the Indian Test team, KL Rahul will fly to England in order to lay the groundwork for a huge five-match Test series. With the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Rahul remains one of the senior-most batters in the Indian test team, and he is ready to take an extra step to prepare ahead of the England Tests.
The Karnataka-born batter has been one of the most improved cricketers in recent times. He would like to walk the talk in England as well. Now, in what has come as a huge development, Rahul will be flying to the UK and will be available to play for India ‘A’. Currently, the India ‘A’ is slated to have two unofficial Tests against the England Lions.
“He will be flying on Monday and will be playing a second warm up game with the India A side. As he is part of the senior men’s team, which will be playing five Test matches in the series, these matches will give him game time and match practice,” a source in the BCCI confirmed to IndianExpress.
