no raina... Why they ignoring Raina??

 

[ABCDEFGH]

When they had announced squad for the first 2 tests, i thought Virat would be rested for the last test. Now that Dhawan is back, India will have problems sorting everyone in the team.

Sheryas Iyer has been selected for ODI squad, no idea if it's a good decision.
3 Batting slots will be empty for these 4 batsmen - Karthik, Jadhav, Pandey and Rahane.

 

[Sarkar]

Rahane selected

Why do you need to score runs when you have political backing
