Ishan Kishan's Comeback Shines in India A's Tour Squad to Australia

Ishan Kishan has been named in the 15-member India A squad led by Ruturaj Gaikwad for the upcoming Australian tour. Kishan returns after a hiatus due to prioritizing IPL over domestic cricket. The tour includes matches against Australia A and an intra-squad game against the senior India team.

Ishan Kishan has made a significant return to the national cricket scene, being named in India's 15-member A squad for their upcoming tour of Australia. The squad will be led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, fresh from a strong performance in the Ranji Trophy.

The tour includes two first-class matches against Australia A in Mackay and Melbourne, and a three-day intra-squad match in Perth. This setup allows India A the opportunity to prepare against tough opposition, with expectations of naming a reserve opener for future Tests.

Kishan's comeback follows his exclusion from the BCCI central contracts, attributed to prioritizing the IPL over domestic leagues. His previous involvement with the squad ended during the 2023 South Africa tour, and this reentry signifies a potential shift in his cricketing priorities.
