Shreyas Iyer expected to be overlooked for India's Test squad vs England despite scoring 480 Ranji Trophy runs at 68.57 avg this season.

Selectors doubt Iyer's red-ball skills despite white-ball success. "His technique suits limited-overs now," reveals BCCI source to TOI.

Dropped mid-series vs England last year, Iyer fought back with 2 Ranji centuries. Still misses cut as new middle-order batsmen emerge.

Sarfaraz Khan, Sai Sudarshan, Karun Nair preferred over Iyer for Test spots. All three picked for India A; Iyer excluded completely.

India likely to take 6 batters, 4 all-rounders for England tour. Gill frontrunner for captaincy with Bumrah managing workload.

Despite leading Punjab Kings to playoffs after 10 years, IPL form doesn't sway selectors for Test selection against England.

5-Test England series begins June 20. India to play warm-up match from June 13 as new-look batting lineup takes shape.
