KL Rahul has been selected to lead the India A team for the second four-day game to be played against England Lions in Mysore from February 13. The Karnataka batsman was also a part of the one-day side which played against the Lions after his suspension was lifted by the BCCI after the controversy.

KL Rahul will take up the responsibility of being the captain against England Lions as India A will play the second four-day game against the touring ECB side from February 13 in his home state.
