India has revealed a 17-player squad for the remaining three Test matches against England, as they aim to secure victory and gather valuable World Test Championship points.
Notably, Indian skipper Virat Kohli will continue to be absent from the squad due to personal reasons. Additionally, the participation of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and batsman KL Rahul hinges on receiving clearance from the India medical team, as both players are dealing with injuries.
Jadeja sustained a hamstring injury during the fourth day of the series’ opening Test, while Rahul reported quadriceps pain during the same match.
In a bid to bolster their bowling attack, seamer Akash Deep has earned his maiden Test call-up. However, batter Shreyas Iyer has been omitted from the squad, as the team looks to secure victories and break the series deadlock against England.
