Due to this he was dropped from the team.

When the West Indies announced their squad, the names of Kyle Mayers and Nkrumah Bonner were not included in that team. Although Nkrumah Bonner did not play the last Test match for the team, Kyle Mayers did. In fact, West Indies played their last Test match against South Africa in the month of February this year. West Indies had to face defeat 2-0 in that two-match series. Kyle Mayers performed brilliantly in the last match of that series, but since then he has been going through a bad form. Even in the World Cup qualifiers, Kyle Mayers did nothing special for his team. In such a situation, in the end, the team selectors had to drop him from the team. India and West Indies will begin their new cycle of the World Test Championship with the match starting on 12th July.
