The first match of the four-match Test series between India and Australia will begin on Thursday. Cricket fans have been waiting for this historic series in India for the last 6 years and now there are few hours left for it to start. The fans as well as the players are very excited about the series, but some players are forced to watch the match from outside the ground as they are injured. Some star players of India and Australia will be out of the initial matches, while some have not been able to be a part of this tour.

Cricket lovers eagerly wait for the match between India and Australia, because both the teams have players who have the power to turn the match and both the teams maintain their dominance outside the home as well. In such a situation, even the player does not want to miss the match between these two. Although some players have unfortunately not been able to be a part of it, here we are going to tell you the names of those players who are not a part of some matches in the upcoming tour, while some are out of the series.
