Key Changes in India’s Squad for Sri Lanka Test Series

India’s touring party for the Sri Lanka Test series has undergone notable revisions.

Off‑spinner Saransh Jain receives his first Test call‑up, replacing a spot vacated by injury‑affected players.

Veteran all‑rounder Ravindra Jadeja, absent from IPL 2026 because of a tennis‑elbow injury, makes a return to the Test setup after a long absence.

Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is back in the squad following the South Africa home series, but his availability will be assessed after a recent fitness concern in England.

Washington Sundar is ruled out of the opening Test due to a right hamstring strain, adding further depth to the spin department.

The finalized 15‑man roster includes captain Shubman Gill, vice‑captain KL Rahul, and other key players such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Mohammed Siraj.

The squad list reflects a blend of experience and fresh talent, aiming to tackle the challenges of playing in Sri Lankan conditions.
