India’s 15-year wait to become the T20 World champions extended as they suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/england/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a>. Jos Buttler &amp; Co. hammered the Men in Blue by 10 wickets in the semi-finals to knock them out of the competition.

After the 2021 T20 World Cup debacle, India under the leadership of Rohit Sharma tried to adopt a fearless brand of cricket. The Men in Blue displayed their new aggressive approach in the bilateral series leading up to the ongoing T20 extravaganza in Australia. However, they struggled to maintain the steam at the grandest stage.

After another disappointing ICC tournament, one can expect the team management to make some tough calls in a bid to revive their T20I future. Hence, certain players who do not fit into the team's plans might be sidelined from the side going ahead.&nbsp;

Here are the five Indian players who might not feature in T20Is going forward:

So, as Jadeja was sidelined from the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 due to a knee injury, the team management picked Axar for the high-profile competition.

Leading up to the marquee tournament, the 28-year-old was phenomenal with the ball picking eight wickets in the three-match T20I series against Australia, and that too at an impeccable economy of 6.30. However, he failed to deliver the goods at the grandest stage.

Axar featured in five games at the global tournament and could manage just three wickets at an economy of 8.62. He did not have much impact with the bat either as he scored mere nine runs in those outings. Given the bowling all-rounder's poor outings in both departments, India could move past him in the shortest format. The southpaw not being picked for the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand could be a sign of things to come.

He was also part of the Indian T20 setup until the 2021 T20 World Cup but was sidelined from the side after a poor showing at the global event.

Shami was not part of India’s initial plans for the ongoing T20 extravaganza. However, Bumrah’s back injury marked his return to the T20I fold and he was drafted into the squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia. The 32-year-old did a great job at the marquee tournament picking six wickets in as many games at an economy of 7.15.&nbsp;

Despite Shami’s decent showing, India might move past him as far as the shortest format is concerned. The Amroha-born was never India’s first-choice pick in T20Is and with a 50-over World Cup set to be played next year, the team management might persist with him only in the longer white-ball format and groom young pacers for the next T20 carnival.

He has bagged 442 wickets in 86 Tests and scored 2931 runs at an average of 26.88. He has been a canny customer in the T20 format too and picked 72 wickets in 65 games at an economy of 6.90.

After being left out of India’s white-ball plans in 2017, Ashwin returned to the limited-overs leg with the 2021 T20 World Cup. The veteran spinner was sensational at the marquee tournament picking six scalps in three games. The Tamil Nadu-born was also added to the squad for the ongoing global event in Australia.

The ace off-spinner did a decent job at the high-profile tournament picking six wickets in as many games. However, Ashwin being 36-year-old, age is not on his side. So, given the next T20 carnival scheduled after two years, the Tamil Nadu-born might not be as agile as per the requirements of the dynamic format. Therefore, he might not be in India’s scheme of things for the T20Is.

He played some breathtaking knocks for the Men in Blue too and courtesy of which he was selected for the ongoing T20 carnival.

However, the wicketkeeper-batter, who was roped in to play the role of finisher, did not fare well at the marquee tournament. Karthik could score mere 14 runs in four games at a poor strike rate of 63.63. Following his poor outings, he was dropped from the team in the latter half of the competition.

Karthik is 37 years old and is not at the peak of his powers, and it does not appear his form and fitness will last till the next T20 World Cup in 2024. Thus, he might not fit into the team’s plans going forward. And given the veteran cricketer failed to impress with his showings at the grandest stage, the selectors might not pick him for India’s upcoming T20I assignments.&nbsp;

In the T20Is, he has been India's lynchpin at the top of the order and amassed an insane tally of 3853 runs in 148 matches at a strike rate of 139.24. However, the Nagpur-born was a pale shadow of his vintage self at the ongoing marquee tournament.

The veteran batter featured in six games and could just manage 116 runs at a mediocre strike rate of 106.42. Rohit’s poor outings meant India struggled to get brisk starts on a consistent basis. Also, the right-hand batter, who has been touted to be an astute tactician of the game, was not at his best in marshaling his troops.

Aged 35, Rohit is in the twilight of his career and his form and fitness might not hold up till the next T20 World Cup in 2024. Therefore, India could move in a new direction in the shortest format. Also, with the next two ICC tournaments being the 2021-2023 World Test Championship final and the 50-over World Cup 2023, the think tank might want the Indian skipper to focus on the ODIs and Tests. Hence, one might not see ace Indian batter play T20Is going forward.
