Karun Nair marked his return to India A with a century on the opening day of the first unofficial Test against England Lions in Canterbury on Friday.
The 33-year-old reached his hundred in 155 deliveries, his 24th First-Class century.
Nair earned a place in the 18-member squad for the upcoming five-match England series, returning to the side after eight years.
He was recalled following a strong domestic season, where he scored 863 runs in nine matches at an average of 54, helping Vidarbha secure its third Ranji Trophy title.
Nair last played for India in 2017 against Australia in Dharamsala. He has six Tests under his belt, with 374 runs at an average of 67, including a memorable triple century — only the second by an Indian batter after Virender Sehwag.
