The clock should start on the ready. The fact that there was a change of possession is irrelevant. If you look at the list of things that cause the clock to start on the snap in rule 3, "change of possession" is not one of them. If B is awarded a new series, then the clock will start on the snap. In this play, B was not awarded a new series, therefore, start the clock on the ready. From an old thread on this board, if B intercepts, B fumbles on the runback, and A recovers inbounds, 1st and 10 for A - start the clock on the ready. Here there are 2 change of possessions and we still start on the ready.
