Shreyas Iyer has been absent from the Indian Test team since February 2024 after a disappointing start in the first two matches of the five-match Test series against England. Iyer bounced back strongly in the Ranji Trophy, where he amassed 480 runs across six matches at an impressive average of 68.57.

The Coach Has a Role in Team Selection - Atul Wassan
During the 12th episode of Bails and Banter on the OTTplay app, Atul Wassan criticized Gautam Gambhir, saying Gambhir "doesn't select; he only rejects." Wassan also pointed out that selectors consult the coach before finalizing the team.
Team India’s tour of England will begin with the first Test at Headingley in Leeds on June 20. This five-match series will be the start of the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle.
Gautam Gambhir Should Trust His Instincts, Says Atul Wassan
"If he (Gautam Gambhir) has been given this position, then I think he deserves to go with his feeling, whether it's right or wrong," Wassan further stated.
However, concerns about his ability to handle short-pitched bowling may be the reason for his exclusion from the team. During the 2022 Test in Birmingham, England, head coach Brendon McCullum urged his bowlers to target Iyer with short balls, which led to his dismissal for scores of 15 and 19.
