BCCI announced the squad for the first match, which will be led by Rohit Sharma. The selectors have included Sarfaraz Khan, who made his debut for the team against England earlier this year. KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel are also included in the team while Shreyas Iyer has been left out. Rishabh Pant is also poised to make a return to the Test fold, for the very first time in red-ball cricket since his horrific accident. The biggest surprise in the bowling department was the inclusion of Yash Dayal, who got his maiden call-up with the Test team. Bengal pacer Akash Deep is also going to be part of the Chennai Test, whereas another Bengal pacer Mukesh Kumar missed out. Although BCCI have named a 16-member squad, there are a few names who have been added only as backup for the first match. In this article, let us have a look at 3 players who are likely to remain on the sidelines in the Chennai Test. Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant's inclusion in the Test team is a welcome move but the southpaw may be on the bench for the Chennai Test. Dhruv Jurel played against England in the last Test series and did exceedingly well, both with the bat and gloves. It will be a close call between Pant and Jurel but the former may have to sit on the bench for this match. Ravindra Jadeja: India have picked up three spin-bowling all-rounders. Ravichandran Ashwin looks like a certain choice, whereas India may opt with Axar Patel due to his solidity with the bat. Jadeja has struggled of late in limited-overs cricket, especially in the T20 World Cup where he faltered big time. Although Jadeja's record in Test cricket is quite stellar, the veteran may have to sit out for this match. Mohammed Siraj: Mohammed Siraj is another player who may have to sit on the sidelines. India may go with two seamers, Jasprit Bumrah being one of them for certain. Akash Deep was included after a fiery 9-wicket haul in the Duleep Trophy match and the Bengal bowler can be chosen ahead of the Hyderabad pacer. Siraj's outing in the England series was also underwhelming, where he just picked up 6 wickets in four matches.
