5 players who were unlucky to have not found a place in the India squad for the series against New Zealand

4.Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey has shown on more than one occasion that he has got the game for limited-overs cricket and proved that further in the recently-concluded quadrangular series in Australia, where he led India A to a series win.

But in the next game, he showed that he had in him to do well in the longer format as well, smashing 77 in the first innings that helped India A reach 230 in their first innings.

Pandey should feel a bit letdown for not finding a place in the squad, despite consistent performances and will hope in the next meeting under the new regime, he finds a place in the squad. This is what former India batsman Vijay Bharadwaj had to say about the right-hander on his Twitter handle.

Really sad that @im_manishpandey doesn't find a place in the Indian team.if two hundreds r nt enough get another 2 .thats the way to go

playing A tours should be the stepping stone but manish seems to be a veteran in playing A tours.@captainshanky https://t.co/Tv9bRTq9Wi
