India A v West Indies A - 3rd Unofficial One Day International 1991/2 - Calcutta

Pitch: 3 - Normal

Weather: 3 - Hot and sunny

India A XI:

V.V.S.Laxman
N.R.Mongia (wk)
R.S.Dravid (c)
V.G.Kambli

R.R.Singh RMF
A.R.Kapoor OB

India A made one change, replacing captain Ganguly with specialist spinner M.Venkataramana due to injury, and naming Dravid as captain in his place.
The batting still looks strong with R.R.Singh at 6, and Chetan Sharma at 9, meaning the West Indies A bowlers will again have a tough task.
West Indies A again made changes, still searching for a winning combination.
Wallace came back for Campbell, while injured opener Samuels was replaced by S.Ragoonath, the West Indies A management keen to give everyone in the squad at least one game in the 50 over series.
For this reason Rose and Cuffy also come back into the side, along with offspinner Nehemiah Perry.
Browne also comes back in as West Indies A still search for their preferred keeper.
It is arguably West Indies A's strongest attack selected so far on tour, and this could make the result closer.
On form it is expected India A will again win, but West Indies A might get closer this time.
