Many national players dived back into the Ranji setup. The pitches of all matches seem to be spicy as fuck so it might have played some part but that's a challenge in test cricket and the results were discouraging.
Or they forgot how to play after being in the spot light for very long.

let's just hope the team for test cricket will be based on the first class performances not based on IPL.
BTW, we got second T20I coming up tomorrow in Chepauk, if England failed in Kolkata do they even have a chance coming at Chepauk?
And I really want to see the comeback of Shami in this match.
