8 Indian Test players playing in Duleep Trophy, who didn't get picked in squad for Bangladesh series

Shreyas Iyer, who is leading India D in the Duleep Trophy, hasn't played for India in Tests since the Vizag game against England. With so many options in the middle, Iyer might not be in the scheme of things at the moment Image Source : Getty

With Rishabh Pant returning, KS Bharat might not be in the scheme of things. Dhruv Jurel is already there and Bharat hasn't done enough to warrant a recall Image Source : Getty

Devdutt Padikkal did well on his Test debut and even scored a fifty for India D in the Duleep Trophy fixture but since KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan are there, he was ousted Image Source : Getty

Similarly for Rajat Patidar, the paucity of spots in the middle order has hurt him with Virat Kohli also back. However, his case is a bit different as he failed to get going in three Tests he played against England Image Source : AP

Akash Deep's turnout in the Duleep Trophy might have hurt Mukesh Kumar's chances. However, he still might be on the flight Down Under Image Source : Getty

Washington Sundar is slowly getting back to his best and the reckoning for the Indian team in white-ball cricket but the team already has a spin quartet and to break into that, he will have to do something extraordinary Image Source : Getty

Navdeep Saini did well for India B with both bat and ball but he is still a bit far away from a Test comeback for India. Saini last played for India at Gabba Image Source : PTI

Mayank Agarwal too is part of the Duleep Trophy but hasn't played for India for long in Test cricket and unfortunately might have played his last for the team for some time. Unless, he has a couple of extraordinary seasons, Agarwal is set to remain on the sidelines Image Source : PTI
