Overview

• Nair was omitted from India’s 15-member squad for the two-Test home series against the West Indies starting October 2 in Ahmedabad.
• Agarkar cited Nair’s modest England returns and said Padikkal "offers a little bit more at this point," with Sai Sudharsan also included.
• Nair scored 205 runs across four Tests in England at 25.62, registering a single fifty in the final Test at The Oval.
• Reacting to the snub, Nair expressed disappointment and noted his 57 in the last Test, saying he believed he had contributed.
• Reports say Nair was also left out of India A and the Rest of India squads, as Dinesh Karthik assessed that selectors are moving on despite Padikkal’s recent unofficial Test flop.
