5 Indian players missing from the Zimbabwe tour squad

While it is always heartening to see youth get a chance on the international stage, there is almost always collateral damage. The Indian players who miss out, at times are the most deserving of the players. While everyone believes in the selectors infinite wisdom, it is at times depressing to see those who were withheld without getting a chance. That said, here are five players who are missing from the Indian squad, for the limited-overs tour of Zimbabwe and Test series against West Indies.

1. Krunal Pandya:

Although he may not have the swagger or confidence or perhaps even the aggression of his brother, Krunal Pandya was clearly the force behind the Mumbai Indians’ campaign this season. The explosive southpaw even ensured that he became the more preferred Pandya between himself and brother Hardik. Towards the end, Hardik eventually began to receive lesser chances as Krunal was the name on the lips of one and all. His ability to bowl the wicket-taking delivery has also seen him become an important part of the squad. It remains to be seen whether he does ever get the chance at the international level anytime soon or not.
