KANPUR, Sept. 30 -- Even after announcing a six-month break from the red ball cricket last week, Team India batter Shreyas Iyer seems to have been in the plans of the BCCI for a bigger role in the white ball cricket as he has every chance to become the ODI skipper in the future. And the three one-day match series between India A and Australia A, starting on Tuesday here is the best opportunity for the Mumbai batter to gain confidence and stake his claim for the leadership role in the upcoming three-match ODI series against hosts Australia next month. The first match starts on October 19 in Perth. With Shubman Gill already settled for the Team India's leadership in Test cricket, and Suryakumar Yadav for the T20 format, Iyer will be required to brace his skills and lead India A to win the series here, at the Green Park Stadium, especially after missing the second four-day unofficial Test against Australia A Lucknow last week. He could score just seven runs in the first Test in Lucknow before telling the BCCI about his six-month break from red ball cricket. Iyer's decision of a break was made public by chairman selection committee Ajit Agarkar while announcing the Team India for the two-Test home series against West Indies, starting on Thursday in Ahmedabad. He was also not considered for the Rest of India team for the Irani Trophy. An attacking top-order batter capable of marrying classical shots with brute force, Iyer, who has so far scored almost 2,900 runs in 70 ODIs, including five hundreds and 22 half centuries at 48.22, will love to play his strokes on the black soil pitch No 5, which has full of runs for batters and offers a good support to spinners too. Besides Iyer, the three-match series against Australia A, offers an opportunity to youngsters like Riyan Parag, Abhishek Poral, Priyansh Arya, Ayush Badoni and all-rounders Nishant Sindhu and Suryansh Shedge to play big. Young leg spinners Vipraj Nigam and Ravi Bishnoi too will pose a challenge for the Copper Connolly-led Australian side. There will be added glamour to the series as Team India's heroes in the Asia Cup victory like Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma will also join the side for the second and third game of the series on October 3 and 5. Leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who has so far taken one wicket in his only appearance for Team India in ODIs, said that the 22-yard strip here looks good and helpful for the spinners in the series. "We have done our homework and have planned out well about each and every batters of the Australia A side and I feel that spinners will have a bigger role to play here," Bishnoi said in the pre-match media interaction on Monday. However, Australia A's young spinner Tanveer Sangha too said that spinners are expected to dictate terms here in the series. "We know it well that we have to face spinners a lot in India and surfaces like this will surely be helping them," he said. Meanwhile, the series will see the international debut of former India Under-19 World Cupper and UP's own Tanmay Srivastava as an umpire along with another former India U-19 World Cup winner Ajitesh Argal. Lucknow's SP Singh and Vikas Pandey will be the two official scorers in the series....
