KL Rahul requested the BCCI to allow him to participate in another India against England Lions.
This is not the first time that Rahul will now be out for ‘A’ for India before an important foreign test tour, after the retirement of the senior -most batsmen, Stallwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, with 58 caps.
Last year, shortly thereafter, India lost the third Test for New Zealand at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium and lost an unprecedented 3–0 series at home, Rahul and wicketkeeper-botter Dhruv Jurlel flew for Melbourne for Melbourne, which came out for ‘A’ A ‘A’ for ‘A’ A ‘A’ for ‘A’ A ‘A’ for Australia.
Rahul would be very important to navigate the challenge of facing the moving ball in the early stage of an innings for India, with two centuries as a opener on England’s Test tours and then set a total set to challenge the ultra-cut batting style of the Ben Stokes-LED side.
