Kolkata Knight Riders squad after the Indian Premier League 2020 player auction in Kolkata on Thursday

Yuvraj Singh feels not having a regular No. 4 batsman and lack of trust in the likes of Vijay Shankar, Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik was one of the biggest reasons behind India's semi-final exit at the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

Dinesh Karthik, the Kolkata Knight Riders captain, had issued an unconditional apology to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for having entered the Trinbago Knight Riders dressing room during a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) game.

The BCCI got a screengrab of Dinesh Karthik, who played 26 Tests, 94 ODIs and 32 T20Is for India, seen wearing Trinbago Knight Riders jersey and relaxing in the dressing room alongside Brendon McCullum

India are set to play three T20s, as many ODIs and two Tests in a full-fledged tour to the Caribbean islands, starting August 3 and MS Dhoni's selection or omission would be an indicator of things to come in the future
