Our power-hitter, Tilak bhau, is all set to lead a young Indian cricket team at the ACC T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024, which comprises a mix of rising stars and a handful of players with little experience in international cricket.

Alongside Tilak, a couple of Boys in Blue and Gold have also been selected for the competition as Nehal Wadhera and Anshul Kamboj will look to make their mark with some fancy performances.

Dynamic all-rounder, Kamboj, is on the back of a terrific Duleep Trophy 2024 campaign where he was named the Player of the Series for bagging 16 wickets at an average of 17.12.

Meanwhile, batter Wadhera, will be playing competitive cricket for the first time since the IPL 2024. Knowing his abilities, the 24-year-old won’t waste much time to get in the groove and get going with his business!

India A finished as runners-up in the 2023 edition where they lost to Pakistan A by 128 runs in the Final. This time out, the Tilak Varma-led side will be raring to go one step forward and bring the trophy home.

Paltan, it’s time to rally behind our team for the upcoming tournament, slated to begin on October 18, 2024 in Oman. Let’s get our loudest cheers out!
