Shedge replaces Hardik in India A one-day squad

Suryansh Shedge has replaced the injured Hardik Pandya in India A's squad for the upcoming three-match one-day series against Australia A in Puducherry. Hardik, who was initially selected subject to fitness clearance, remains sidelined after failing to bowl pain-free due to a fresh injury. Ruturaj Gaikwad will captain the India A side, with Devdutt Padikkal serving as his deputy.

Additional squad changes were announced for both sides ahead of the opening match on October 6. Anukul Roy has replaced Naman Dhir, who earned a call-up to India's senior T20I squad. Meanwhile, Australia A added Riley Meredith and Will Sutherland to their one-day group to replace Jack Edwards and the injured Aaron Hardie.
