Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced the 14-member India 'A' squad for the two-day practice game to be played against Bangladesh at Gymkhana Ground in Secunderabad on February 5-6.
The two-day match will be followed by the national team's one-off Test against Bangladesh from February 09-13 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
Tamil Nadu's opening batsman Abhinav Mukund has been named as the captain of the India 'A' squad.
The squad is a reward to players, who performed exceedingly well at the Ranji Trophy and the Irani Cup.
On January 15, the date of the one-off Test was postponed by a day as the BCCI felt that overall crowd attendance over five days will be better with the game beginning on a Thursday.
