From June 13, the India A team will play a four-day match versus the senior India squad after their game against England A.
Nair’s appointment is based on his consistent scoring away from the public eye in India. In the current Ranji season, He got 863 runs in just 9 matches and he has looked unstoppable in IPL 2025 as well.

The batsman’s return to the national squad is one of cricket’s most inspirational comeback tales, demonstrating that persistence and steady play may ultimately result in top-level recognition.
