India A would take on Australia A in the first unofficial cricket Test of the two-match series in Chennai today. India A will be led by top-order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, who will be eager to return among runs and earn his place back in the senior Test side. Australia A will be led by Usman Khawaja. He had recently underwent a left knee reconstruction surgery and would like to make good use of this opportunity to get back to the Australian side. Khawaja last played a Test for Australia during the 2013 Ashes tour. Tours of A teams gained emphasis under the Anil Kumble-led current Technical Committee of the Cricket Board (BCCI) as these matches will help in spotting the next generation of players for the national senior team. Just after taking charge of the A team, Dravid has laid emphasis on the bowlers' ability to take 20 wickets and batsmen intent to stay longer period of time at the wicket.
