This means that debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy will take his place in the playing XI. This is surprising given that Kuldeep finished as the highest wicket-taker in the Asia Cup and the West Indies Test series and is fully fit. Instead, Mohammed Siraj, who was previously ignored for the home series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy, will be joining the playing XI along with Reddy.
