The Committee also picked five net bowlers and two players as standbys.

Net Bowlers: Ankit Rajpoot, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Warrier, Krishnappa Gowtham, Saurabh Kumar

Standby players: KS Bharat, Rahul Chahar.

Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shahbaz Nadeem and Priyank Panchal have been released for Vijay Hazare Trophy.

The third Test match (day and night) will be played from February 24-February 28 and the fourth match will be played from March 8-March 12.

Both the matches will be played at the newly constructed Motera stadium in Ahmedabad.

If India wins the two Test matches or wins one and draws the other, then it will face New Zealand in the World Test Championship final at Lords.

However, if it loses one or both the matches and even draws the series, then it will be out of the race.

Englan, on the other hand, will have to win both the matches to qualify for the final.

In case of a drawn series, it will be Australia who plays New Zealand in the WTC final.
