Team India-A:
1.Abhimanyu Easwaran (batsman):
Recent struggles in domestic cricket; low confidence could impact performance.
2.Shardul Thakur (all-rounder):
Inconsistent with the ball in tests; economy rate often high.
3.Tushar Deshpande (bowler):
Limited red-ball experience; prone to leaking runs in tough conditions.
Team England-L:
1.Rehan Ahmed (all-rounder):
Young leg-spinner; inconsistency in longer formats could be exploited and Batting contributions might be limited against quality bowling.
2.Ben McKinney (batsman):
Limited experience in multi-day cricket; could face challenges adapting to test-match discipline.
3.Rocky Flintoff (batsman):
Very early in his career; lack of exposure to high-pressure red-ball cricket.
England Lions maybe get victorious because of their team effort in previous Test, unfortunately the match was drawn but both of the teams played well. India-A also played really well as two players scored over 90 and one with double century 204. The match is going to be very interesting but also because of the home-ground England Lions have the upper hand.
