New Delhi, Nov 22: Veteran opener Gautam Gambhir has once again been dropped from the Indian squad as BCCI declared the team for remaining three Test matches against England.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar in Gautam Gambhir out; Ind-Eng series schedule

The BCCI on Tuesday (November 22) made just one change in India squad by dropping the 34-year-old batsman for the remainder of the Test series.

Bhuvneshwar, who is making a comeback from an injury, has been inducted into the 16-member India squad.

Moments after veteran cricketer was snubbed by the BCCI, his supporters and fans criticised India's Test skipper Virat Kohli for Gambhir's outster.

The left-handed batsman failed to perform in the first Test match at Rajkot and his ouster from the squad was evident with the fact when he was asked to play for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy.

This is how Gambhir's supporters expressed their displeasure over his ouster:

Must feel for Gambhir. Fought his way back into team, now dumped from even the squad.Extremely competitive scenario. Little margin for error

This is really unjust to axe Gautam Gambhir from the squad after just 2 matches. Never knew his return will be so short-lived!#INDvENG
