On Tuesday, July 28, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officially announced India's squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. The selectors have retained most of the core group, while also handing a maiden Test call-up to Saransh Jain for the tour.
The announcement also brought updates on a few key players' availability. Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the first Test and was unavailable for selection, while Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan remain doubtful as their participation will depend on receiving fitness clearance from the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) before the series begins.
The selectors have named a 15-member squad for the two-match Test series, with Shubman Gill set to lead the side. KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna continue to form the core of the squad, while Saransh Jain has earned his maiden Test call-up.
The squad also includes Dhruv Jurel as the reserve wicketkeeper, alongside Devdutt Padikkal, Manav Suthar and Gurnoor Brar, giving India additional batting and bowling depth for the Sri Lanka challenge.
India will play a four-day practice match in Colombo from August 7 before the Test series gets underway. The first Test will be played at the Galle International Cricket Stadium from August 15 to 19, while the second Test is scheduled at the SSC, Colombo, from August 23 to 27.
The BCCI also confirmed that Sai Sudharsan and Jasprit Bumrah will only be available subject to fitness clearance from the Centre of Excellence, while Washington Sundar was not considered for selection for the opening Test due to his unavailability.
Meanwhile, recently Glenn McGrath advised Jasprit Bumrah to prioritize Test cricket over T20 Cricket.
