The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday announced the India squad for the first two matches of the five-match test series at home against England. Wicketkeeper batter Dhruv Jarel was the lone new face in the team.
Pacer Mohammed Shami was not named in the squad as he is continuing his recovery process from an injury that he suffered during the ODI World Cup last year.
Shami was also not a part of the India squad that toured South Africa recently.
Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have been included in India’s spin-focused squad.
Vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will lead India’s pace attack with Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan.
22-year-old Jurrel was a part of India A squad that played two matches against their South African counterparts in December last year.
He had made a 69 in the second match at Benoni and more recently made a 63 for UP against Kerala in a first round group game of the Ranji Trophy at Alappuzha.
Jurel, who had made his First-Class debut last year against Vidarbha, has so far made 790 runs from 15 matches at an average of 46 with a hundred and five fifties in the domestic circuit.
The Men in Blue are scheduled to play the first Test match on January 25 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Squad for first 2 Tests vs England: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), KS Bharat (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Avesh Khan
