The BCCI selection panel, headed by MSK Prasad, met in New Delhi to pick the India Test squad for South Africa series. Virat Kohli continues to lead the side

Chasing just 48 runs in their second innings, India 'A' endured a mild stutter as skipper Shubman Gill (5), Ankit Bawne (6) and K S Bharat (5) fell in early before Dube (12 not out) and Ricky Bhui (20 not out) completed the formalities for the home team

The highly-rated Shubman Gill will lead the team in the first of the two four-day matches, with veteran wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha captaining in the second. The teams for both the matches are a mix of experience and youth

The All-India Senior Selection Committee met at BCCI NCA (National Cricket Academy) in Bengaluru to pick India A squad for the Paytm multiday series against South Africa A

The 19-year-old Shubman Gill, being seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket, scored an unbeaten 204 off 250 deliveries to break former India opener Gautam Gambhir's record on the third and penultimate day of the ongoing match

Last year, India Blue won the trophy as they defeated India Red by an innings and 187 runs. Duleep Trophy will be played on round robin format with the top two teams playing the final of the four-day tournament

Rahul and Pandya have been given seven days to come up with an explanation as to why action should not be taken against them for misconduct and indiscipline under Rule 41 of the BCCI constitution

The ODI format may give Vijay Shankar more time to settle down, but after his Nidahas final flop show, à la Yuvraj Singh's meltdown in the 2014 World T20 final, it would have been ideal if he was tested in the home series against West Indies

'Yes, they all recognise you for your U-19 days but we have to keep performing the same way at the higher levels to get a chance,' Shubman Gill said
