Players which will be missed

The players who will be missed the most when the test against South Africa starts is Ishant Sharma who unfortunately is not able to clear the fitness test. The other one who will be missed is Gautam Gambhir who is in prime form. With the kind of form Gambhir is in and the maturity he has shown in the recent past, it was important that the selectors should have given him the nod. Zaheer Khan also could have strengthened the bowling attack had he been fit.
