The BCCI has announced India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka, with Shubman Gill retaining the captaincy and KL Rahul named vice-captain. Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan have been included, subject to fitness clearance from the BCCI Centre of Excellence. The biggest talking point is the maiden senior India call-up for 33-year-old Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Saransh Jain, who earned his place after years of consistent domestic performances and an impressive India A tour of Sri Lanka. With Washington Sundar unavailable for the opening Test, Jain’s off-spin and lower-order batting could prove crucial in Sri Lankan conditions.
