India A vs Australia A

So we won't see the main Indian test starters participating in those games.

India also happen to have 3 tests scheduled vs NZ for Oct, finishing early Nov.

India's only warmup match will be an internal squad match scheduled for mid-Nov.

An... an Australia A series? Against a peer nation's A team? Just before the Test summer starts so it has direct relevance for selection, and it's more than just a single game?

This is almost too sensible to be real.

Hope Fraser-Mcgurk plays somehow

I'm sure Indian A supporters hope he does as he has a FC average of 18.96. No way should he be in a FC Aus-A side yet
