Finch, Rawlins & Robinson take on India A as part of ECB XI


Sussex County Cricket Club | 18th June, 2018

India A fired a warning to England Lions and West Indies A ahead of the forthcoming Tri-Series with an emphatic victory over an ECB XI in the first game of their tour at Emerald Headingley.

The ECB XI contained three Sussex players: Harry Finch, Delray Rawlins and Ollie Robinson.

The Indians, coached by Rahul Dravid, had been due to play Yorkshire, but the ECB put together alternative opposition from county cricket because of the Vikings’ progress in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

India A fielded a team including three players with senior international experience and plenty of others who have made an impact in the Indian Premier League, and they quickly adapted to English conditions to post a total of 328 for eight – then dismissed the ECB XI for 203.

Prithvi Shaw, who captained India to victory in the ICC Under-19s World Cup in New Zealand earlier this year, set the tone with a sparkling innings of 70 from 61 balls including seven fours and three sixes.
