IND vs WI: These 6 Indian players Test careers are over!

BCCI announced India’s 15-member squad for the West Indies Tests starting October 2, 2025, with Shubman Gill as captain and Ravindra Jadeja as vice-captain, while the omission of five players hints at the end of their Test careers.

1. Karun Nair

Dropped after poor outing in England (205 runs in 4 matches, avg 25.7). His Test comeback seems over.

2. Abhimanyu Easwaran

Despite scoring 7,885 first-class runs, ignored again after being benched in England. Career likely done at international level.

3. Akash Deep

Took 13 wickets in 3 Tests vs England but still omitted. Selectors looking past him, Test future uncertain.

4. Mohammed Shami

Last played in 2023, with 229 wickets in 64 Tests. Overlooked again, signaling the end of his red-ball career.

5. Shardul Thakur

Managed only 2 wickets in 27 overs in England. Dropped from WI series, hinting his Test career is finished.

6. Shreyas Iyer

Not dropped but pulled out due to fitness. Would have been picked if available, future in Tests still unclear.

Shreyas Iyer retirement from Test cricket?
