Dambulla: Pacer Ashok Sharma was added on Tuesday to the India A squad for the ongoing tri-series in Sri Lanka, replacing the injured Yudhvir Singh. Sharma showed strong pace during his IPL stint with Gujarat Titans. Yudhvir felt discomfort in his right shoulder while bowling on June 13 and had similar pain during a fielding session on June 11. The BCCI medical team, after consulting a specialist, advised a gradual rehabilitation program at the BCCI Centre of Excellence for full recovery from the right rotator cuff injury. India A have lost their last two matches in the tri-series against Afghanistan A and Sri Lanka A. The squad includes Tilak Varma as captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad as vice-captain, along with Priyansh Arya, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ayush Badoni, Nishant Sindhu, Suryansh Shedge, Prabhsimran Singh, Kumar Kushagra, Vipraj Nigam, Yash Thakur, Anshul Kamboj, Arshad Khan, Anukul Roy and Ashok Sharma.
