Easwaran was dropped due to his father's strong statements: Kris
Former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth blamed Abhimanyu Easwaran's father for his removal from the Test squad. "I think his father made some strong statements (after England), and maybe that's why they've dropped him now," he said. After the series, Easwaran’s father, Ranganathan, criticised the team selection and coach Gautam Gambhir over their treatment of his son.
