Naman Ojha, the wicketkeeper-batsman who was supposed to lead India A in the quadrangular series in Australia, has been replaced by Manish Pandey, on Tuesday (August 2). According a report in The New India Express, Ojha has been dropped from the squad and will travel to Australia only in September for the four-day games.

Shahbaz Nadeem, Vijay Shankar and Akhil Herwadkar are the other players who will not travel Down Under for the limited-overs series. Yuzvendra Chahal, Mandeep Singh and Hardik Pandya will replace the troika. Pandey will lead the squad in the limited-overs leg while Ojha will take over during the four-day games.

"Selectors have made four changes in the team (India A) and now I will go only for the four-day matches. Mera naam hatake unhone four changes kiya hai (they've removed me and made four changes), I was told two days ago," Ojha told the English daily.

All four players who have been dropped, were part of the India A strength and conditioning camp at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore
