State Vice-Captain
ROI squad for Irani Cup was announced today, it was speculated by media that Sachin Tendulkar might be the part of ROI squad but he has not been picked. Harmeet Singh have been picked for this game. Ian Chappell said that

He bowls like Bishen Bedi, with that same natural flight and guile that would right now place him as the best spin bowler in any Test side bar England.

Hmm.. Fair enough. I guess that explains 2 not 3 teams for the Challenger trophy too.

Odd squad for India A though.

No wickets for Ojha while Yadav cleans up the tail. Rajasthan outfit looks pretty weak without Chopra and Pankaj Singh

Thought Ishant bowled decently from what i saw and Harmeet Singh looked ordinary and nervous.

Bist doing well again.

Has he been in any of the A squads? I don't recall hearing his name in them, despite his ricidulously good form last Ranji season, that appears to be continuing here. Averaged 80-ish IIRC.

He's played on India A match IIRC, but that is all as he really only broke through last season. Before that he had a pretty mediocre record for 2/3 seasons in FC.

Robin Bist and Pragyan Ojha are contrasting cases in the Irani Trophy, with Ishant and Umesh in the middle of both. Bist still is young and has some way to go before being an India prospect, but against a really strong Rest of India team, he's done well. Ojha is a certainty in the national side as the second spinner after Ashwin, and was once the lead, but he's been very poor in this game- two wickets in more than 50 overs. That may be a cause for concern, especially with his below-par strike rate in Tests, all inside Asia. Ishant and Umesh did well in this game, without being spectacular (Ishant) or consistent (Umesh), and regularly chipping wickets will help both.

The new format of the Challenger Trophy is welcome, as you have at least one genuine team in the event- a concern raised repeatedly by Harsha Bhogle- that it only encourages individual performances. It will still be tough for Bengal, who will be missing Ashok Dinda and Shami Ahmed. The India A and India B teams are decently assembled.

Challenger Trophy underway, and India A walked all over Bengal. First, Ishant Sharma took four and Pragyan Ojha three, to knock them over for just 193, and only captain Saha had a decent outing, and also lower-order batsman Nandi, largely in the overs bowled by Yusuf Pathan. Yusuf did not get to bat, as India A won by eight wickets, with the match ending before Dhawan reached his hundred, Uthappa scoring a rapid 25 (maybe he should have gone to SL for the T20s?) and Rahane scoring 63.

This series is not being telecast anywhere.

Yusuf got to bat, but with little left in the innings. India A collared the India B bowling for 335, and lost just four wickets. Dhawan, opening the innings, scored a rapid 152, and Uthappa, an even quicker 67. Rahane and Badrinath failed to capitalise on loads of free-scoring opportunities, while Dinesh Karthik smashed a rapid 66 and Yusuf, some 20 in eleven deliveries. Strangely, Umesh Yadav bowled 11 overs, taking two wickets, but all the bowlers were taken for plenty.
