India A will be in action at the same time as the senior team will be battling in the Asia Cup. India A is scheduled to play two unofficial Test matches and three unofficial ODI matches later this month and at the start of the next month.
The unofficial Test series will start on Tuesday, September 16 and will be a four-day game. The next match will take place between Tuesday, September 23 and Friday, September 26. Both matches will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
The two teams will then travel to Kanpur to play the three unofficial ODI matches. The first match is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, September 30, while the remaining two games will be played on Friday, October 3, and Sunday, October 6, respectively.
BCCI has already announced the squad for the two unofficial Test matches. Star Indian batter Shreyas Iyer has been given the responsibility to lead the side. Wicketkeeper-batter Dhurv Jurel has been named the vice-captain of the team.
The squad for the three-match unofficial ODI series has not been announced yet. A few reports have mentioned that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might be named in the squad. The duo last played for India during the final of the Champions Trophy this year.
Where to Watch India A vs Australia A 1st Unofficial ODI?
India A will face Australia A in the first unofficial ODI today, September 30, 2025, at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. This game begins the three-match one-day series after the two unofficial Tests in Lucknow, and it’s an important opportunity for players looking to impress the selectors.
Unfortunately, there is no official live streaming or television broadcast scheduled for this fixture. While Star Sports holds the rights for India’s home season matches, they have not announced any telecast or digital streaming plans for the unofficial ODI series. This means fans in India will not be able to watch the match live on TV or online.
How To Watch The India A vs Australia A Series?
JioHotstar holds the domestic cricket streaming rights in India. The live streaming of both the unofficial Test matches and the three unofficial ODI matches will be available on the platform.
Similarly, Star Sports Network are the official broadcasting partners of the BCCI and hence, the live telecast of all five matches would be available on Star Sports channels.
This is an important series for a lot of players, considering that India will play a Test series against the West Indies shortly after the second unofficial Test match ends. Hence, they have been named in the squad to get some preparation. Hence, fans would be really excited to watch their favourite players take the field in these matches. If Rohit and Virat do get picked in the squad, the number of people turning up for this match would be really high.
