It is learnt that Abhimanyu, who led India-A against Bangladesh-A recently in two First Class matches in Cox’s Bazar and Sylhet, has been asked to join the Indian side following Rohit Sharma’s left thumb injury.

The CAB also selected Ravi Kant Singh in the place of pacer Mukesh Kumar, who is said to be out of action due to an injury.
