After the completion of the three-match T20I series against New Zealand, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-vs-new-zealand-3rd-t20i-match-preview-playing-xi-and-broadcast-details/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>India</strong></a> would be eager to flaunt their show in the longest format of the game as well. India has already taken an unassailable lead in the T20Is and the last match at Kolkata would be a mere formality for both sides.

Talking about the Test games which will be held at Kanpur and Mumbai respectively, it remains to be seen with what combination will India step up to make the event memorable. India is spoiled with choices in every department of the game and it is not even new for them. However, in this scenario, many cricketers won’t find a place in the XI of the team. Let’s take a look at-

Three India players who will not get a chance in the Test series against NZ

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-522800" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/KS-Bharat.jpg" alt="KS Bharat" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-522800" class="wp-caption-text">KS Bharat.

KS Bharat’s selection can be a little surprising as he is yet to debut for India across any format and earlier, he has been only added to the squad as injury covers. It is unlikely that Andhra Pradesh cricketer will be able to make a cut in the XI for Test games.

Talking about his career statistics, he has played 78 FC games with more than four thousand runs to his credit. He has also been part of 61 T20 games where he has 1050 runs to his name.

He recently grabbed a lot of limelight in the second phase of IPL 2021 where he played a game-changing knock against DC and smashed a last-ball six to stun all.

Though Patel has made a cut in the New Zealand Test squad, it is unlikely that he will find a chance in the XI of the team. Though senior pacers like Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are resting for the series, India will go with the likes of Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma, etc.

However, when it comes to the spin department, Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have been flaunting absolute class these days and the team might not like to disturb their rhythm suddenly.

He was even replaced by Shardul Thakur in the T20 WC 2021 squad. He made his Test debut earlier this year in India’s home series against England and completely grabbed the show by wreaking havoc alongside senior compatriot <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ravi-ashwin-responds-to-gautam-gambhirs-sarcastic-sportsmanship-tweet-on-david-warners-six/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ravi Ashwin.</strong></a>

Young Prasidh Krishna had also made a cut in India’s announced squad for NZ Tests and the same is the case with him, that he would be unlikely in the final XI squad. Having not played international cricket for quite a while, he won’t be the selector&#8217;s first preference when it will come to pacers.

He made his ODI debut earlier this year in the ODI series against England and walked up with decent figures. In three ODIs, he has scalped six wickets for the team. His Test debut is yet to come up and hence, it will be difficult for him to find a place in India’s XI in whites.
