The indian team is going to tour england next month. Before that, the india A team is going to tour england and play three matches. In the first two matches, india A will play against the england Lions. The india A team for that series was announced yesterday. There were some disappointments and some surprises in it. In particular, shreyas iyer was not given a place in the india A team. This has surprised many. shreyas iyer had scored 480 runs in 7 innings in the Ranji Trophy series last year. After that, he had also played well in ODIs. So there was an expectation that he would be given a chance again in Test matches. At the same time, there was also a doubt about playing on pitches favorable to fast bowling in England.
 Because he had a weakness in facing short balls. But now he has not shown such weakness. However, the selection committee has ignored Shreyas Iyer. While many young players have been given a chance in the india A team, it has been announced that Shubman Gill, who is seen as the next Test captain, and Sai Sudarshan, who is a promising star, will play from the second match. Because both of them are on the gujarat Titans team. That team is in a position to advance to the play-off round. The first match of the india A team will be held during the IPL play-off series. Therefore, both of them will not be able to play in the first match.

 It has been announced that Shubman Gill and Sai sudarshan will join the india A team from the second match. The punjab Kings team, which shreyas iyer captains, also has a chance to advance to the play-off round. If that team advances to the play-off round, shreyas iyer can also make a place in the india A team from the second match. But his name has not been announced in the india A team. Also, the names of various players are included in the middle order. The names of Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, and ishan kishan have been included in the india A team. Along with this, the Test team will also have KL rahul and rishabh Pant. With such a variety of middle-order batsmen, shreyas iyer has been denied a chance. Moreover, the selection committee has taken this decision using its previous weakness as an excuse. Important information is also being said in bcci circles: "Shreyas Iyer will be given a chance only in the Test series in India. Because he will be given a chance again in overseas Test matches only after a thorough examination of his fast bowling weakness

 India A team: abhimanyu Easwaran (captain), yashasvi jaiswal, Karun Nair, dhruv Jural (vice-captain, wicketkeeper), nitish kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur, ishan kishan (wicketkeeper), Manav Sudar, dhanush Kotian, mukesh Kumar, akash Deep, Harshit Rana, Anshul Kamboj, Khaleel Ahmed, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sarfaraz Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Harsh Dubey Note: Shubman Gill and Sai sudarshan will join the team before the second match.
