Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar is not surprised with the non-selection of senior batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane in the squad for two Tests against Sri Lanka, terming it ‘expected.’

On Saturday, Pujara and Rahane, along with pacer Ishant Sharma and wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha didn’t find themselves in the squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka in March.
