Indian cricket fans are fuming after Shreyas Iyer was left out of the India A squad heading to England for a five match series. Despite a strong domestic season averaging 68.57 in the Ranji Trophy and showcasing top leadership skills as Punjab Kings' IPL captain, Iyer was surprisingly omitted.

The move has raised eyebrows, especially with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retiring from Test cricket, leaving leadership and middle order gaps. Iyer, once sidelined before the Champions Trophy, has consistently bounced back through sheer performance.

Many speculate whether this is a performance-based decision or rooted in personal bias, reigniting old conversations about internal team politics.

While some hope Iyer will make the main Test squad, his omission from the A team could be a troubling sign for his red ball future especially with the England series demanding grit, skill, and strong leadership in foreign conditions.
