New Delhi: The BCCI chose Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan to feature in the teams upcoming England tour. Still Shreyas Iyer a regular face in ODIs did not get chosen for the team. Virender Sehwag asked the BCCI why Shreyas Iyer was not part of the roster for the England series. Definitely. He doesnt get much credit for his captaincy. Manoj (Tiwary) said that Rishabh Pant didnt get captaincy because his IPL season hasnt been great. But Iyer has had a great season he is also the captain. Why cant he play in Test cricket? He can definitely play all three formats Sehwag said on Cricbuzz during a conversation on Iyers absence from the Test squad. Virender Sehwag advocated for Shreyas Iyers inclusion in Indias Test squad for their England tour citing Iyers strong performance and playoff success with Punjab Kings in the IPL. When youre in good form its good to take him to the tour because there are higher chances of him performing. I would want to see him in Test team. If he keeps the same approach in Test cricket it benefits the team. If you have 2-3 players like that it sets fear in the opposition. England plays at 6-7 runs/over. If the Indian team even manages to play at 4-5 runs/over they can put them under pressure said Sehwag. Indias Test squad for England series: Shubman Gill (c) Rishabh Pant (wk/vc) Yashasvi Jaiswal KL Rahul Sai Sudharsan Abhimanyu Easwaran Karun Nair Nitish Kumar Reddy Ravindra Jadeja Dhruv Jurel (wk) Washington Sundar Shardul Thakur Jasprit Bumrah Mohammed Siraj Prasidh Krishna Akash Deep Arshdeep Singh Kuldeep Yadav.
