All these players are fast bowlers which means the team's fast bowling personnel will be significantly reduced. But the management feels that the players can get some much required game-time by playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which will start from December 21.
Mukesh Kumar, Yash Dayal, and Navdeep Saini are yet to play a match in the ongoing Test series against Australia. The three quicks have been the backups for the frontline fast bowlers in the original squad.

While Mukesh Kumar and Yash Dayal are yet to play a Test in Australia, Navdeep Saini made his Test debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21. However, he got injured midway through the Gabba Test on that tour and that turned out to be his last Test so far.
Remaining fast bowlers in India's squad
Apart from these quicks, Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna are the other two fast bowlers in the squad. Rana played the first two Tests of the series but was dropped after a disappointing outing in Adelaide. Krishna is yet to get a game on this tour.
Jasprit Bumrah the spearhead of the attack
He led the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the first Test and led from the front. Bumrah was also adjudged the Player of the Match for his brilliance with the ball. He picked up eight wickets in the match.
The series is currently level 1-1 with both the teams giving a tough fight to each other so far. While India threw the first punch at Perth, Australia came back hard with a brilliant comeback win in Adelaide.
