India's batting stalwart Virat Kohli will continue to be absent from the ongoing England Test series due to personal reasons, as confirmed by the BCCI. Meanwhile, middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer has been axed following a series of low scores. The squad sees the return of injured duo Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, pending fitness clearance. Additionally, newcomer Akash Deep replaces Saurabh Kumar. Sarfaraz Khan retains his spot despite not featuring in the playing XI previously. With the series leveled 1-1, India prepares for the third Test in Rajkot starting February 15, with the touring England team set to return from their break in Abu Dhabi.
