The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) faced significant backlash following its decision to cancel a scheduled warm-up match against India A ahead of the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

With several Indian players struggling for form recently, the move to cancel the warm-up match raised eyebrows, leading many to question the decision’s timing and rationale. In response to the criticism and the need for additional preparation, it is now learnt that Team India have reportedly opted for an intra-squad practice match to help players get match-ready.
