Siraj's Arrival Adds Muscle to India A Attack Vs New Zealand A

India A heads into the second unofficial four-day Test in Christchurch looking to build on momentum after the opening match ended in a draw due to poor visibility. Devdutt Padikkal remains a key focus following his massive 199-run performance, while Mohammed Siraj joins the squad to sharpen his bowling rhythm ahead of the senior team's upcoming series.

Shikhar Mohan has been drafted into the lineup to replace KL Rahul, who is departing to join the ODI squad after struggling in the previous outing. Other contributors like Yash Rathod, Sai Sudharsan, and Washington Sundar will look to provide more stability against the New Zealand A bowling attack.
