Wicketkeeper-batsman Naman Ojha has been named as the skipper of the India A squad for the two four-day matches against Australia A and the quadrangular series involving South Africa A, Australia A and Cricket Australia's National Performance Squad (NPS).

The senior selection committee made quite a few changes, keeping in mind the recent performances of the players in the series vs Zimbabwe.

Unmukt Chand, who was the previous captain has been dropped and Naman Ojha will lead the team in both series.

Apart from Chand, Mayank Agarwal, Rishi Dhawan, S Aravind, Karn Sharma and Gurkeerat Singh were dropped from the squad.
