Iyer Poised to Lead India A to Series Win Over Australia A
5 Oct
Summary
- Tilak Varma's impressive 94 not enough for India ODI selection
- Shreyas Iyer named India's ODI vice-captain for next 2 years
- India A to face Australia A in crucial series decider
As of October 5th, 2025, the India A team is gearing up for a crucial series decider against their Australian counterparts. The spotlight is firmly on Shreyas Iyer, who has been named the ODI vice-captain of the Indian national team and is expected to hold the position for the next two years, barring any major upheaval in Indian cricket.
Iyer's appointment comes on the heels of a heartbreaking snub from the Asia Cup squad earlier this year. However, the talented batsman now has the opportunity to lead India A to a series victory over Australia A and further cement his place in the national setup.
In the previous match, young star Tilak Varma made a strong case for selection in India's 50-over format with an attractive 94. Despite his impressive performance, Varma was unable to find a place in the national team. Nevertheless, his form and potential have not gone unnoticed, and he will be eager to continue his impressive run in the series decider.
