Tilak Varma poised for T20 World Cup return, picked in India A’s squad for warm-up match to get final tune-up

For the USA team, this will be a significant test as they face players who bring a wealth of experience from the IPL and domestic cricket circuits. The India A squad boasts a mix of young talent and seasoned performers, making it a high-quality opposition for the USA. These warm-up matches will not only help the USA side gain valuable match practice but also allow them to assess their strategies and adjust before the T20 World Cup kicks off. The contests promise to be competitive and a good measure of their readiness.

Meanwhile, Tilak Varma is poised to make a comeback to India’s T20 squad ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup after fully recovering from his groin injury, which had ruled him out of the New Zealand series. Since the 2024 T20 World Cup, Tilak has become a key figure in India’s T20 plans, providing both stability and aggression in the middle order.

To ensure he is in peak form for the global event, the BCCI has included him in the India A squad for warm-up matches, giving him crucial match practice ahead of the main tournament. Tilak is expected to feature in one warm-up game before joining the senior team led by Suryakumar Yadav.
