Not happy they're putting a game on at a test venue. Should keep the touring sides well away from them until they have to play there in the real thing.

Surely more chance of a member of the Aussie Squad playing in the Tests than the Indian one.

There's also an India vs India A at the WACA starting 15th November so the entire Test squad can get a game on a pitch very similar to 1st Test at Perth Stadium

Are the WACA and stadium pitches similar?

I saw a tv report years ago showing they use the same soil as the WACA pitch to make it as similar as possible. it's not quite the same but the WACA will still give India some valuable practice with the pace and bounce of the pitch.

Pathetic. Should be dishing up low turners for the practice matches then unleashing 80s Gabba abd WACA deckjs for the tests. Basically treat them as shittily as they do every touring side.

Does the non-selection in India A squad mean Harshit Rana is out of consideration for BGT?
Most likely otherwise they would hace selected for india A team .

BCCI is not looking for them , Yash Dayal , Mukesh Kumar , Navdeep saini , Nitish Reddy ( AR) etc are back-up pacers for them .

Bumrah
Shami ( most likely fit for 2nd half of BGT )
Siraj
Akashdeep

These are bowling options for india .

Draini is still a thing?
He actually batted an hour to save a game yesterday. And he has been picking 2 or 3 fers almost every innings. And is one of the taller bowlers we have and does get good bounce because of that. At decent pace of 135-145 kph. He is not bad at all as a 5th or 6th seamer.
