Ind vs wi: The Indian cricket team has been announced for the Test series against the West Indies. The captaincy of the 15 -member team has been handed over to Shubman Gill, and a big news is that Ravindra Jadeja has been made the vice -captain. Rishabh Pant could not be a part of this series due to injury, and Jadeja has been given this important responsibility in his place. However, after the team’s announcement, some players also saw disappointment on their faces, as they could not join the West Indies series. Let us know which are the five players who have been dropped from the team.
Karun Nair Leaf Cut
The first name for the West Indies Test series was Karun Nair. He got a place in the team on the tour of England, where he participated in 4 Tests, but could score only one half -century. Due to his poor form, he has now been dropped from the team for the West Indies series.
Abhimanyu Ishwaran out
The same thing happened to Abhimanyu Ishwar, which has often happened. He had to sit on the bench even on the tour of England, and now he has not got a place in the team even for the West Indies series. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar said that the third opener is not required in the domestic series, but if such a situation arises, Ishwar can be given a chance.
Akash Deep also gets a place
Akash Deep also did not get a place in Team India for the West Indies series. He played an important role on the tour of England, but this time the famous Krishna was preferred. Now Akash Deep will play for Rest of India in the Iranian Trophy.
Shardul Thakur’s leaf cut
Shardul Thakur has also been ruled out of the team this time. He played two Test matches on England tour, but only 2 wickets could come in his 27 overs. Even his performance in batting was not special, due to which his place could not be made now.
Anshul Kamboj out
Fast bowler Anshul Kamboj had a chance to debut in the Manchester Test, but he took only one wicket. Now he too has been dropped from the team.
Shreyas Iyer refused to play
Shreyas Iyer was expected to be selected in the West Indies Test series, but decided to take a break from red ball cricket citing his fitness. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar told that if Iyer had fit, he would have played in this series.
