#2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Off all these players in these list, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the only one who could still make it to the Indian test team for the tour of England this time around if he recovers from his lower back injury.
Last time around when India toured England for a test series, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was man of the series along with James Anderson and was also India's standout bowler and highest wicket taker with 19 wickets.
In that particular series, Bhuvneshwar Kumar even impressed everyone with the bat and scored two half centuries and was one of the chief architects behind India winning the second test match at Lords.
His absence from the Indian team for the first few matches will really hurt the balance of the side.
#1. MS Dhoni
Off all these players in these list, India's most successful captain ever MS Dhoni is the only one to have retired from test format.
MS Dhoni, announced his retirement from test cricket in December 2014 after scoring 4,876 runs in 90 test matches at an average of 38.09, apart from taking more than 250 catches as a wicket keeper.
During India's previous test tour to England in 2014, MS Dhoni was India's second highest run scorer in the series with 349 runs in 10 innings behind Murali Vijay who scored 402 runs in 10 innings.
