Australia A squad for the upcoming India A tour announced

Cricket Australia have named a 14-member squad for Australia A side which will face India A in three ODIs and three T20Is. The tour is scheduled to be played from October 15 at the Bandra-Kurla Complex ground in Mumbai. This will be the first official Australia A tour of India after the National Talent Pathway last year.



The squad consists of International players like Lauren Cheatle, Molly Strano, Tahlia McGrath, Belinda Vakarewa and Amanda-Jade Wellington, along with the familiar WBBL names.



Leg-spinner Wellington impressed in 21 International appearances so far in all the three formats. She has 27 wickets to her name. Wellington took 17 scalps in the last year's WBBL, including the best figures of 3/9.



While talking about the series, Australia A Head Coach Leah Poulton said, "This tour will also provide the opportunity for the players to push for higher honours with strong performances, with players such as Georgia Wareham and Tayla Vlaeminck being selected in the senior national side following impressive performances for the Australia Under-19 side earlier this year."



He further added, "We’ve assembled a really exciting and talented group of players who have been presented with a wonderful opportunity to continue to develop their skills against a quality opposition in what will be challenging sub-continent conditions."



The team is currently attending the pre-series training camp in Brisbane. They will leave for India on October 12.
