England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow has been dropped from the first two Tests against India to be played in Chennai from February 5. Bairstow, Sam Curran, and Mark Wood were rested by the national selectors for the first two Tests beginning in Chennai on February 5, a decision which was criticised by former England skippers Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen. Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes have been selected as the two specialist keepers for the first two Tests.
