The Indian middle-order batter Karun Nair, who made a comeback in Test cricket, has been speechless after missing the Test squad against the West Indies. India will be playing two Tests—the first one starting on October 2 in Ahmedabad and the second one on October 10, in Delhi. India has been struggling in the middle order since the departure of the OGs, and Karun Nair was given a chance in the international Test team during the Anderson-Tendulkar test series. The man who had a great domestic season could manage 205 runs. And that did not seem convincing enough for the selectors to include Karun Nair in the 15-member squad against the West Indies. This season, the management decided to give Devdutt Padikkal another chance and summoned Sarfaraz Khan back to the team. Karun Nair was recently approached by the Times of India, where he said that he expected his name in the squad. he reasoned his only half-century in the first innings should have gotten him a seat. But after all, its the selectors' call. Karun said, "Yes, I did expect the selection. I don't know what to say. No words. I don't have many comments to make. It's very difficult for me to answer." He added, "You should probably ask the selectors what they are thinking. The only thing is, in the last Test match, I scored a fifty when no one else managed in the first innings. So, yeah, I thought I contributed to the team, especially in the last game that we won. But, yeah, it is what it is. Those things don't matter."

He had a great season for the Country too, scoring 487 runs in seven matches, including a standout double century. As the BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said, 205 runs was not enough to meet the bar Karun had set for himself. During the squad selection pressy in Dubai, Agarkar said, "I mean obviously, frankly, we expected a little bit more from him, he has played four Tests. We have spoken about one innings. As the way it is, I mean, we feel Padikkal (Devdutt) offers a little bit more at this point, and I wish we could have given everyone 15 or 20 Tests. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way." Praising Devdutt, Agarkar added, "Padikkal's been in the Test squad. I mean, he was in the Test squad in Australia. Played in Dharamsala against England, got a 50 there. He's shown some decent form with India A. Yeah, frankly, we expected a bit more from Karun on the England trip."
