India A's tour of Australia got off to a horrendous start in Mackay on Thursday, when the two uncapped players picked for the Border Gavaskar Trophy -- Abhimanyu Easwaran and Nitish Kumar Reddy -- failed to impress on the first morning of their four-day match against Australia A at the Great Barrier Reef Arena.
Australia A won the toss and opted to bowl, and right-arm fast bowler Jordan Buckingham sent openers Easwaran and Ruturaj Gaikwad back in the pavilion for 7 and a golden duck respectively, before his fellow pacer Brendan Doggett tore open the Indian line-up with a five-wicket spell.
