Earlier, there were reports of ace pacer Mohammed Shami being fit for the third Test. However, he has not been included in the squad. The third Test will be India’s second day night Test at home and Mohammed Shami, with his abilities to move the ball, could have been an asset for India.

The all India selection committee has also named 5 net bowlers namely Ankit Rajpoot, Sandeep Warrier, Krishnappa Gowtham, Saurabh Kumar and Avesh Khan. Rahul Chahar and KS Bharat will be the two standbys. The pink ball test in Ahmedabad will be the first game in Motera, the largest stadium in the world with a capacity of 1,10,000.
