Offspin all-rounder Saransh Jain has earned a maiden Test callup to India’s squad for the upcoming two-match series in Sri Lanka in August. Saransh has been selected on the back of a hamstring injury to Washington Sundar, and could be in for a Test cap at the age of 33 following consistent performances for Madhya Pradesh in domestic cricket and India A.

Veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is also back in the fold after being rested from the one-off Test against Afghanistan in June. The rest of the 15-man squad wears a familiar look, with Jasprit Bumrah back to spearhead the attack. Bumrah and incumbent No.3 batter Sai Sudharsan have been picked subject to fitness clearance though, while Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is one of many players currently in the CoE is not part of the squad.
