India vs. Sri Lanka: Indian squad

The Indian selectors sprung a surprise by including S.Sreesanth in the 15 member squad for the 1st 2 Tests against the visiting Sri Lanka cricket team.

While Zaheer Khan's recall was in the offing, Sreesanth's inclusion came straight out of the blue.

Though it is unlikely that Sreesanth may play in these Tests, the selectors may have selected him to evaluate how he gels with the squad.

It is pertinent to remember that this is the first time Sreesanth is sharing a dressing room with Harbhajan Singh after the infamous 'slapping' incident during the inaugural IPL tournament.

The Indian cricket team for the first 2 Tests against Sri Lanka:

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, V.V.S. Laxman, Murali Vijay, Subramaniam Badrinath, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha, Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan, S. Sreesanth.
