After the conclusion of the Test series against Australia, India will not play a single Test until July 2019 as the ICC World Cup is to take place in May.

Hence, Test specialists like Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara will need to be kept busy. Sources close to BCCI told PTI that the two star batsmen might be a part of India A's squad to take on England Lions in February.

"The fast bowlers workload management is a different issue but in case of some of the Test specialists, we might play them against England Lions. England Lions are coming for a full series where they will play four day Tests as well as List A and T20 matches," a BCCI source privy to the development told PTI Saturday.
