Prithvi Shaw is out of favour yet again. This time he is excluded from the England-bound Test team which will play the World Test Championship final against New Zealand (June 18 to 22) followed by a five-match Test series. The Pataudi Trophy kicks off at Nottingham on August 4.

Virat Kohli will lead the team for the first time abroad since his paternity leave-caused departure after the Adelaide Test against Australia last December.
