The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday unveiled the 15-player India A squad for the upcoming one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka, with 23-year-old batter Tilak Varma assuming the captaincy for the June assignment.
Tri-Series Details
The tri-series will feature India A, Sri Lanka A, and Afghanistan A, with all white-ball matches scheduled to be played in Dambulla. Following the limited-overs competition, the tour will also include two multi-day matches against Sri Lanka A in Galle.
Key Inclusions and Leadership
The squad includes several emerging talents from the domestic and franchise cricket circuits. Priyansh Arya and teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are among the headline inclusions. Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag has been appointed vice-captain, highlighting the selectors' focus on grooming young leadership options.
Priyansh, who has impressed in recent white-ball competitions, earns a deserved place alongside Sooryavanshi, one of the most talked-about young prospects in Indian cricket. The selectors have also included wicketkeepers Prabhsimran Singh and Kumar Kushagra.
Bowling Attack
Among the bowlers, Anshul Kamboj has been rewarded for his strong performances, including his impressive IPL 2026 campaign. Other notable names in the squad include Ayush Badoni, Nishant Sindhu, Harsh Dubey, and Vipraj Nigam.
