#3. Champions Trophy
Indian selectors would have eyed that with Champions Trophy coming up, they need their best players to be well relaxed ahead of the tournament. As the players are expected to play in IPL, the selectors might not wanted to put extra load into their schedule as they have recently recovered from their injuries.
India will need both Rohit Sharma and Shami in the tournament as they play as the defending champions and will look to win it once again this summer.
