The selection panel headed by Krishnamachari Srikkanth throw up some old names and faces in selecting the Indian team for the Test series against Sri Lanka and it included that of Sreesanth.
Warned by the BCCI and the Kerala Cricket Association for his tardiness and misbheavious, the final warning perhaps also came with what many believe could be Sreesanth's final chance to regain his position as an integral member of the Indian cricket team.
Zaheer Khan returns from shoulder injury while India have decided to retain Ishant Sharma, leaving no room for Ashish Nehra, surprisingly left out in favour of Sreesanth. India will also have three spinners option of Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra and Pragyan Ojha who is yet to make his Test debut.
Also, in the team as batsmen are M. Vijay and Subramaniam Badrinath, the latter who is yet to play a Test for India.
The rest of the line up boasts of the predictable names led by Indian captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni as V.V.S. Laxman and Rahul Dravid become the bigger names to continue to highlight the Test team.
India's team for the first two Tests against Sri Lanka:
Mahendra Singh Dhoni , Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, M Vijay, S Badrinath, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth, Pragyan Ojha, Amit Mishra.
