India squad announced for first two Tests against England

The Indian national selection committee on Monday announced a 15-member squad for the first two Tests against England starting November 15.

Yuvraj Singh made comeback after almost a year while off-spinner Harbhajan Singh also returned to the national side.

According to PTI, Sachin Tendulkar, the senior most member of the squad, will provide solidity in an otherwise inexperienced middle-order line-up which will also have the in-form Virat Kohli. Cheteshwar Pujara and Yuvraj will be the others in the middle order.

Tamil Nadu opener Murali Vijay was also named in the squad as reserve opener though the selectors retained the experienced duo of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir despite both of them going through a form slump for a long time.
