5 reasons why A tours are important for India

#4 Exposure to different conditions

Players get accustomed to all kinds of pitches and conditions by playing ‘A’ games

Most of India’s young cricketers have grown up playing only on sub-continent wickets and hence they lack the knowledge of playing in different conditions and on different pitches. The ‘A’ tours, however, allow players to adapt to alien conditions and enable them to iron out flaws in their technique.

Moreover, during these tours, Indian players get the opportunity to face some of the best young players from other nations which only helps improve their skills.

Players from other nations frequently visit India for the IPL but Indian cricketers don’t have the luxury of playing domestic T20 leagues in other countries. Hence these ‘A’ tours provide them with the opportunity to explore the conditions in other nations.
