India's star batter Virat Kohli is not in the team for the last three Tests due to personal reasons. He did not play the first two Tests due to personal reasons.

Kohli has never missed a complete series in his Test career. But it happened after a long time. Kohli is playing the entire five-match series against England. Before the start of the series, it was revealed that he was not in the squad for the first and second Tests due to personal reasons.

AB de Villiers said that he is going to be the father of the second child. However, de Villiers later apologized for such comments. But it was thought that maybe Kohli would be in the team for the rest of the series. But that didn't happen either.

The BCCI announced the squad for the remaining three Tests on Saturday. And Kohli was not kept in that team. This time too it is the personal reason. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer was also worried due to injury. However, after the announcement of the team, it is known that he has been dropped from the Test team.

KL Rahul and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja have returned to the Test team. But their game depends on fitness. They will play only if they get the green signal from the BCCI medical team.

Akash Deep has been called up as a new face in the Test team due to the absence of Kohli. This bowling all-rounder played against India A team against England Lions.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wk), KS Bharat (wk), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep
