India Tour of England 2025: India’s 18 -member team has been announced for the Test series against England, but some big players missed out on making a place. Fans are surprised by keeping three players out despite excellent form. This young team will play five Tests in England from June 20 under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. Come, let’s know about the three players who missed the tour of England.

Sarfaraz Khan: Middle order star

Middle -order batsman Sarfaraz Khan performed brilliantly in domestic cricket and last Test matches. His technique and the ability to score under pressure caught everyone’s attention. Sarfaraz’s experience on England’s challenging pitches could have been beneficial for India. Nevertheless, the selectors did not give them a chance, which annoyed the fans.

Shreyas Iyer: ignoring experience

Shreyas Iyer’s Test experience and recent form made him a strong contender. His technology could be effective on flat pitches in England. However, the selectors preferred players like Karun Nair due to technical deficiencies. Fans on social media called Iyer’s ignoring wrong.

Harshit Rana: Waiting for young fast bowler

The first Test performance of young fast bowler Harshit Rana did not meet expectations, but his speed and swing impressed. He was excluded from the tour of England even after getting a chance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rana will have to wait for bowlers like Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep.

Big responsibility on youth team

It is one of the youngest Test teams in India after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s farewell to Test cricket. Players like Shubman Gill (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant (Vice-Qetan), and Jaspreet Bumrah are ready to write a new story in England. But the absence of players like Sarfaraz, Iyer, and Rana has questioned the selection.
