India has announced its squad for the first two matches of the coveted India-England five-match Test Series. Several players have been picked up for the series for the first time while there have been some names who were expecting their names but have been omitted from the list despite registering good performances.
The list is out just for the first two matches and some players have not been performing well with the likes of Gill and Iyer in it, who might get dropped for the remaining three matches based on their performance.


Here's a list of five players who deserved a place in the squad but did not get picked by the selectors:

Although Sarfaraz Khan did find a place in the Indian squad for the second Test, it has just been because KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have been injured and ruled out for the match, after the unavailability of Virat Kohli. So there has been a shortage of pool strength as several key names have been missing from the squad now. Even after being picked up in the squad, he was not selected in the Playing XI as Rajat Paitdar was chosen over him making his debut.

It is worth mentioning that the Mumbai-based batter has worked very hard in the domestic circuit in recent years and deserves to find a place. With the uncertainties lying ahead, there are chances that he might or might not get picked.
