While India are busy playing Tests in West Indies, the India A side will take part in a List-A series in Australia against Australia A, National Performance Squad and South Africa A. While the South African side have already spent some time in the country playing the longer formats, Indian players will have to get accustomed to conditions quickly.

Here are 5 players to look out for as India A begin their tour down under:

#5 Yuvzendra Chahal

An impressive IPL campaign with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who reached the final of Indian Premier League 2016 meant Yuvzendra Chahal got the opportunity to make his Indian debut in the series against Zimbabwe. After picking up at least one wicket in every match of the series, he will certainly arrive in Australia with plenty of confidence.

Although he picked up just one wicket on his ODI debut, he slowly grew into the series as he provided crucial breakthroughs in the middle-order.  The 26-year-old finished the ODI series with six wickets while showing just how crucial leg spin can be to break partnerships and skittle the opposition's lower order.

Although he was hit for 38 runs in his first T20I despite picking up a wicket, he came back strongly in the next match as he went for just 19 in his fours, took a wicket and bowled a maiden too. Given Australia's tendency to produce pitches that aren't exactly conducive to spin bowling, it will be interesting to see how the leg spinner again.
