KL Rahul would look to make the most of his first red-ball outing in months ahead of the Test series against England while the fringe players will be desperate for impactful performances when India ‘A’ face England Lions in their second and final unofficial Test beginning here on Friday.

With major parts of India enduring monsoon, Rahul decided to leave for UK before the main Test squad to train for the five-match series beginning on June 20.

Rahul, who has had reasonable success in England including two hundreds, is the senior-most batter in the Test squad following the high-profile retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
