why kuldeep yadav not selected india squad border gavaskar trophy australia injury ahead ind vs aus bgt 2024

Kuldeep Yadav Not Selected Border Gavaskar Trophy: India's 0-3 defeat in the Test series against New Zealand is very disappointing. Due to this, all the equations of the World Test Championship final seem to have changed. Now an even bigger challenge is facing Team India because the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT 2024) is starting from 22nd November, whose matches will be played in Australia. Some new players have got a place in the Indian squad, but the absence of Kuldeep Yadav in the team is raising big questions.

Why was Kuldeep Yadav out?

Kuldeep also got a place in the squad for the Test series against Bangladesh and then New Zealand. But after the match against England in March this year, Kuldeep has not been seen in the playing eleven. Now the reason for his exclusion from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is an injury. According to BCCI, Kuldeep Yadav is complaining of pain in the lower abdomen and upper part of the right thigh. To get rid of this, he is trying to recover at the Center of Excellence located in Bengaluru.

A chance for some new players?

Some new faces have been included in Team India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After a brilliant domestic season, Abhimanyu Easwaran has got a place in the team. But he could not score much runs for India A in Australia. Nitish Kumar Reddy may get a chance to make his Test debut, he has already debuted for Team India in T20 matches. After his good performance against New Zealand, Washington Sundar has also been successful in securing his place in the team. The new face associated with the team is Harshit Rana, who has been waiting for his debut for many months.
