Team India is currently playing a three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. After this series, the Indian team has to face New Zealand. A 3-match test series is to be played between the two teams. This series will start from October 16, for which the squad of the Indian team is yet to be announced. But even before the announcement of the team, it is believed that Sarfaraz Khan is certain to be selected in this series. At the same time, it is almost certain that a batsman will be eliminated from this series. The reason behind this is the announcement of the team by Mumbai Cricket Association for the first two matches of Ranji Trophy.

Big shock to this player before New Zealand series

Mumbai team, which recently won the Irani Cup title, has announced the team for the first two matches of Ranji Trophy. Ajinkya Rahane has once again been given the command of the team. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer has also got a place in this team. In such a situation, it is believed that Iyer's selection in Ranji Trophy means that he will not return to the Indian Test team for the time being. Actually, Mumbai has to play its first Ranji match on October 11. Mumbai has to play its first match against Baroda. In the second match, it will face Maharashtra, this match will be played from October 18.

This year has not been anything special for Indian batsman Shreyas Iyer so far. Shreyas was dropped from the Indian Test team during the home series against England earlier this year, since then he has not returned to the Test team. His bat has been calm in domestic cricket also. Even in the Duleep Trophy, he could score only 154 runs, in which he was out twice without opening the account and could score only two half-centuries. No improvement was seen in his game even in the Irani Cup.

Big news for Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz Khan has not been included in the Mumbai team for the first two matches of Ranji Trophy. It is believed that he will be a part of the Indian team for the New Zealand series, hence he has not been made a part of this team. Sarfaraz recently played an innings of 222 runs in the Irani Cup match. He became the first batsman for Mumbai to score a double century in the Irani Cup. At the same time, before this match, he was also a part of Team India in the Test series against Bangladesh.
