No Shreyas Iyer
Though, the board has provided no update on the Shreyas Iyer’s omission, the Mumbai batter has been ruled out due to back and groin injury.
Iyer’s reoccurring back problems ensured that both Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar kept their places in the India squad.
No rest for Bumrah, Siraj returns
Meanwhile, India pace lynchpin Jasprit Bumrah retained his place in the India squad amid reports of being rested due to workload management. While Mohammed Siraj returned after a well deserved break in the Vizag Test.
Left-arm pacer Akash Deep is the only new face in the India squad.
Kohli is currently abroad for pressing personal family matter.
Left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar has been released with Jadeja coming back while Mohammed Siraj is back in the squad in place of Avesh Khan.
