Senior batter KL Rahul will turn out for India 'A' in their second red-ball game against England Lions, starting in Northampton on June 6, say sources.

India ‘A’, led by opener Abhimanyu Easwaran, will play their first red-ball game against Lions in Canterbury on Friday.

“Delhi Capitals not qualifying for Playoffs also meant that free space was created in Rahul’s schedule to go for India ‘A’ ahead of an important assignment for the Test team,” said sources.
