Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra said on Saturday that doors to the Test team for veteran middle-order batters Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane are closed but with the former's Indian Premier League (IPL) career still alive, he will be relevant for a longer time as he plays in the league for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), captained by MS Dhoni.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, who suffered a hamstring injury in the second T20 against Pakistan, is unlikely to take any further part in the series, coach Gary Stead said Monday.
