Shreyas Iyer (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced its team for the remaining three Tests of the five-match Test series being played against England. Shreyas Iyer has not got a place in the Indian team for the remaining three tests. Let us tell you, Shreyas Iyer’s performance was not so good in the first two tests. In the first Test played in Hyderabad, he scored 35 runs in the first innings while in the second innings he was out after scoring 13 runs. Not only this, he scored 27 runs and 29 runs in the second test played in Visakhapatnam. Shreyas Iyer’s performance has not been so good in Test cricket for some time. In 2023, he has scored only 187 runs at an average of 17. However, Shreyas Iyer’s performance in the earlier Tests has been quite good. Today we will tell you about three main reasons why removing Shreyas Iyer from the Indian team was not the right decision. 1- Shreyas Iyer was slowly gaining his rhythm Shreyas Iyer (Image Source: Getty Images) Shreyas Iyer was seen facing a lot of trouble in this series against the fast bowlers whereas he batted very well against the spinners. Let us tell you, in 2023, Shreyas Iyer’s average against spinners was 14, whereas this year it has increased to above 30. Shreyas Iyer was slowly gaining his rhythm. In this series being played against England, he was out because of playing aggressive shots.

Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team has announced its squad for the last three Test matches of the five-match Test series against England. The third Test match between India and England is starting from 15th February in Rajkot. The fourth test match will be played in Ranchi while the fifth and final match will be played in Dharamshala. Due to personal reasons, Virat Kohli will not be able to participate in the remaining three tests. However, the good thing for the Indian team is that KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja will be seen playing in all three Tests. So far, two Tests have been played between the two teams and so far the series is tied at 1-1. Today we will tell you about India’s best XI for the remaining three tests. Opener: Rohit Sharma (captain) and Yashasvi Jaiswal Rohit Sharma & Jaiswal.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s performance so far in this Test series has been very good and his batting has been praised by everyone. Talking about Rohit Sharma, till now the Indian captain has failed to leave his mark in this Test series with batting but his captaincy has been quite good. Rohit Sharma will look to bat well in the remaining three Tests. Middle Order: Shubman Gill, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel. Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Getty Images) Shreyas Iyer’s performance on behalf of the Indian team has been very disappointing in Test cricket for some time and that is why he has not been included in the Indian team in the remaining three Tests. Only Shubman Gill will be seen batting at number three. He scored an important century for the hosts in the second Test. Rajat Patidar made his Test debut in Visakhapatnam and he may also get a chance in the upcoming Test. Sarfaraz Khan’s performance in Indian domestic cricket has been quite good in recent times and he cannot be ignored. However, in Rajkot, Sarfaraz Khan may prove to be more important than Rajat Patidar. KS Bharat’s performance so far has been quite disappointing in international Test cricket and that is why Dhruv Jurel may be given a chance in the remaining three Tests. The team has Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja as all-rounders and both these players would like to leave their mark in the upcoming matches. Lower Order: Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav R Ashwin (Photo Source: Getty Images) Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah proved to be very important bowlers for the Indian team in the first two Tests. Both these players had bowled very well in the first two Tests and won the hearts of many people. Jasprit Bumrah has so far taken 15 wickets in the first two matches of this Test series. However, in his place, Mohammad Siraj can also…
Ranji Trophy 2024: Experienced fast bowler returns to Delhi team, has played 100 tests for India
Veteran Indian cricketer Ishant Sharma is set to feature in Delhi’s upcoming clash against Baroda in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. Ahead of his return to the Indian team, Ishant has been focusing on red ball cricket and played for Delhi against Puducherry. However, he could not take advantage of the opportunity and the visiting team won by nine wickets. After a break of almost a month, the 35-year-old is ready to make a comeback and may get a chance to replace Prince Yadav in the playing eleven. He will lead the fast bowling unit along with Navdeep Saini and Himanshu Chauhan. Meanwhile, Ishant’s return will strengthen Delhi’s bowling line-up, which is going through a bad phase. Delhi team is currently at sixth position in the Elite Group D points table. However, their recent win over Uttarakhand should give them some confidence ahead of them in the upcoming fixtures. The team’s new captain Himmat Singh played a memorable inning of 194 runs in the last match, while Yash Dhull and Lakshya Thareja made important contributions in the first and second innings respectively. Saini, Hrithik Shaukeen and Himanshu Chauhan looked impressive in the bowling, which is another plus point for the team. The cold and humid weather in Delhi is expected to help the fast bowlers and Ishant’s experience here will come in handy for the team as he is used to playing in such conditions. The fast bowler will be desperate to prove his worth and get back into the national team, which is already loaded with quality fast bowlers. Meanwhile, the toss was delayed due to bad light. If the sun does not shine during the match and there is moisture under the pitch, then fast bowlers can get a lot of expectations from the pitch. However, it depends on when and if the game starts. There is also a possibility of rain on the third day of the match.
Usman Khawaja explains the reason behind players giving priority to T20 cricket over Tests
The increasing popularity of T-20 cricket in the last few years has had an impact on the longest format of cricket. Usman Khawaja (Photo Source: Twitter) The increasing popularity of T-20 cricket in the last few years has had an impact on the longest format of cricket. For this reason, from time to time, voices have been raised to save Test cricket. In this sequence, Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja has reacted. He says that international boards will take steps for the safety of Test cricket. Recently, great Australian cricketer Steve Waugh had given a statement regarding red ball cricket and he said that many cricketers are moving away from the longest format of the game. Usman Khawaja’s reaction came immediately after this statement. He says that despite the craze for T-20 cricket, the only way to save Test cricket is to pay good salaries to the players. Speaking to Fox Sports, Khawaja said, if I was a player from another country and was getting paid well to play international cricket, I would have got paid more to play T20 cricket. I’m sorry, but I’m going to play T20 cricket. Not because it doesn’t make sense, I love playing for my country, but it’s also a matter of taking care of your family. Cricket boards need transparency He further said that, in my personal opinion, unfortunately the pay to play international cricket is not as good as in some other countries. These are just raw facts. I know this because I have talked to players from other countries. I’ve asked them what their average salary is, what their match contracts are for their countries. Khawaja says that, we have to find a way to encourage other countries to play international and especially Test cricket. For this, all cricket boards need transparency so that they can find out how to pay the players in the best way. If you look, there is a huge gap for the Windies, they are struggling, they are not bringing in enough money, so world cricket needs to come together to help. But until you get that clarity and know 100% that the money isn’t misallocated, it’s hard to know. read this also- Inzamam’s nephew dismissed from Pakistan team, 21 year old player will get a chance to debut in the third test
