Indian cricket selectors have recalled fast bowler, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth and fit again Paceman, Zaheer Khan for the 3-test series against visitors Sri Lanka.
The 26-year-old Sreesanth played his last test against South Africa in Kanpur in 2008, before he was sidelined due to disciplinary issues.
Khan has recovered from a shoulder injury that kept him out of the Champions Trophy and the one-day series at home against Australia.
The experienced test batting duo of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman were also included after being ignored for the one-day series against Australia.
The selectors also named uncapped left-arm spinner, Pragyan Ojha along with first choice spinners, Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra.
The test series begins in Ahmedabad on November 16, followed by test matches at Kanpur on November 24-28 and Mumbai on December 2-6.
After the test series, both teams will play two 20/20 games and a 5-match one-day series.
