Explosive middle-order batter Rinku Singh has been added to the India A squad for the IND A vs ENG Lions 2nd Test. The southpaw, who was playing first-class cricket with Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy 2024, will now join the side ahead of the IND vs ENG Test series. Rinku’s addition might put him up in contention for a spot in the senior team for the first two Tests as a potential addition to the squad in the absence of Virat Kohli.

Unlike many T20 specialists, Rinku Singh hasn’t neglected first-class cricket. He played a Ranji Trophy match after the South Africa series and made himself available for the ongoing Bihar game. This dedication to the longer format has further fuelled speculation about his Test potential.
