Sai Sudharsan says India A tours match international intensity
Sai Sudharsan and L. Balaji praise India A tours for preparing players for senior international cricket.
India A batter Sai Sudharsan said the intensity on A tours is almost on par with international cricket and helps players settle faster at senior level. He returned to action in the multi-day series against Australia A in Puducherry after a toe injury ruled him out of India's Test series in Sri Lanka. Coach L. Balaji added that four Indian teams are currently competing simultaneously, creating healthy internal competition.

The presence of four simultaneous Indian squads means the talent pool is being stress-tested in real time. Players who perform across these overlapping fixtures are effectively trialling for every role rather than waiting for one vacancy.
