India tour of Australia: After the Sri Lanka tour, the Indian team has got a long break and will return with a two-Test match series against Bangladesh in September.

After this, the Indian team also has to play three Tests against New Zealand at home. Then after this series, India also has to tour Australia, where for the first time 5 Test matches will be played under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India has won the Test series in Australia for two consecutive times and this time the aim will be to achieve a hat-trick.

Meanwhile, the discussion about the Australia tour has already started among the fans and reactions are coming about which player will be able to make it to the Team India squad and which will not.

Some players have confirmed their place in the Indian squad but there are some for whom the Duleep Trophy, Bangladesh and New Zealand series are going to be very important, because if the performance is not good during this time, then they may miss out on making it to the squad selected for the Australia tour. In this article, we are going to mention three such Indian players, who may be out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy squad if they perform poorly.

3. Rishabh Pant

Team India's wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant's performance has not been anything special since his return. He did not show anything special in the T20 World Cup and the Sri Lanka tour. In such a situation, the Duleep Trophy as well as the Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand will be important for him. If the performance is not good in this, then it may be difficult for Pant to make his place. India has the option of Dhruv Jurel, who managed to impress in the Test series against England.

At the same time, Ishan Kishan has also made a strong century in the Buchi Babu tournament after making a comeback. In such a situation, the selectors will keep an eye on Pant's performance.

2. Mohammed Siraj

Fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is considered an important part of Team India in Tests. However, Siraj's recent performance has not been anything special in other formats. Due to this, questions are being raised on him as well. This fast bowler has also been selected for the Duleep Trophy.

After this, he will also be a part of the Bangladesh and New Zealand series for Team India. In such a situation, if Siraj's performance is not good during this time, then his place may be in danger for the Australia tour.

1. Shreyas Iyer

Things have not gone well for Shreyas Iyer since the ODI World Cup and in between he was also shown the way out of the central contract. However, as soon as Gautam Gambhir became the coach, Iyer made a comeback and he played the ODI series in the Sri Lanka tour but could not perform well. At the same time, nothing special has been seen from this batsman in the last three Test series as well. For this reason, the coming time is going to be very important for Shreyas and if he does not do well in the Duleep Trophy, Bangladesh and New Zealand Test series, then he may miss out on a place for the Australia tour.
