The 24-year-old fast bowler from Nagpur, Praful Hinge, has been chosen to represent India A in the impending four-day series against Australia A in Puducherry.

This selection represents a significant advancement for the Vidarbha pacer, who bypassed the Duleep Trophy and Irani Cup avenues to achieve this status, as he has only played 10 first-class matches. Selectors have consistently recognized his red-ball potential due to his consistent ability to hit good lengths, and his exceptional IPL performance five months ago solidified his standing in the national team.

How did Hinge’s IPL performance influence his selection to the India A team?

Praful Hinge IPL debut, which was played in front of a densely packed home audience, was the catalyst for his meteoric ascent. Prior to the India A assignment, the performance garnered widespread attention and elevated him to the selectors’ radar. Praful Hinge secured four wickets on his IPL debut, including the coveted scalp of the prolific Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with his first delivery. In addition, Hinge discussed the importance of learning from seasoned individuals during his tenure in the IPL.

Given the India A call-up, what are the implications for Praful Hinge long-term objectives?

Praful Hinge has made it clear that he is most eager to make an impact during the four-day format. It provides him with a structured platform to showcase his red-ball credentials at a competitive level prior to any future Test consideration during the India A series against Australia A in Puducherry.
