Iyer’s exclusion raised many eyebrows, as he was not named even in the reserves.

Amit Mishra was always known as a genuine leg-spinner who could also contribute with the bat. In his 68-match international career for India across formats, he scored four half-centuries. All of them were in Tests. One of his most memorable knocks came during India’s 2011 tour of England. Mishra played only two Tests in that series, but in the fourth and final match at The Oval, he produced a brilliant knock. Batting in the second innings, he scored 84 and shared a valuable 144-run partnership with Sachin Tendulkar for the fourth wicket. Tendulkar eventually fell for 91, while Mishra’s gritty…
