Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer was left out of the last three Tests against England earlier this year after struggling in the first two matches, where he managed just 104 runs in four innings. The middle-order batter was also dropped from the BCCI central contract list and was omitted from the T20I squad against Zimbabwe last month. He was, however, included in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, but managed to score just 38 in three games. The Mumbai batter will be eager to put up a solid show and impress the national selectors.

KS Bharat

Wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat has been in and out of the team since making his Test debut last year. He was dropped after the first two Tests against England earlier this year, with newcomer Dhruv Jurel replacing him. His poor average of 20.09 in 12 innings hasn`t helped the right-handed batter either, with 44 being his highest score against Australia in Ahmedabad last year. The 30-year-old will have to slog it out in the domestic tournament to impress the national selectors.
