England openers Zak Crawley and Dom Sibley have had a torrid time with the bat in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, but have kept their location in England’s Test squad that will take on India in Chennai, although wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow who has looked strong, batting at quantity 3 position, on Sri Lanka’s spin-friendly pitches, has been left out from the 16-man squad for 1st two Tests against India.

The world is officially mad… #SLvENG,” Vaughan tweeted.
