Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. So far, two test matches of the series have been played, in which both the teams have won one match each. The third match of the Test series will be played from February 15 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.

However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India had earlier selected the Indian team only for the first two Test matches against England. Non-availability of players was said to be the main reason behind this. So, BCCI has announced the Indian team some time ago for the remaining matches of this series.

Former Indian captain Virat Kohli was not included in the team in the first two Test matches due to personal reasons. So now once again he has not been selected for the remaining matches of the Test series due to personal reasons. Let us know through this article which players were out of Team India and who were included?

1. KL Rahul

KL Rahul was included in Team India for the first two Test matches against England. However, after the injury in the second T20 match, he has not been fully fit yet and has been ruled out of the third Test match.

Regarding Rahul’s fitness, BCCI said through an official release – Rahul has reached 90 percent match fitness and is making good progress under the supervision of the BCCI medical team. He will continue his recovery process at the NCA to be fully fit for the fourth and fifth Tests.
