New Delhi, Jun 23 (PTI) The national selection panel on Friday effectively brought curtains down on veteran Cheteshwar Pujara’s international career by dropping him from Indian Test squad for the two-Test series against the West Indies, starting July 12.
Inclusion of powerhouse domestic performers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the 16-member squad is a clear indication that the four-member panel, headed by Shiv Sunder Das, is now looking at the next two-year World Test Championship cycle (2023-2025).
That Pujara will be dropped and skipper Rohit Sharma is likely to lead the Test side in the Caribbean was reported by the PTI recently.
