\"Mr Kuldeep Yadav has not fully recovered from his viral illness. He was unavailable for selection in the Playing XI for the second Test against Sri Lanka. However, he can take the field as a concussion substitute, if required,\" the BCCI stated in an official statement on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saransh was handed his Test cap in the team huddle prior to the toss, where India elected to bat first at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) Ground. A hamstring injury to off-spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar during India's ODI tour of England opened the door for his inclusion in the squad on the trip to Sri Lanka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saransh, 33, boasts of an impressive domestic record, having featured in 54 First-Class matches, scoring 2,223 runs at an average of 31.75 while picking up 188 wickets at an average of 27.30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Apart from being the 320th men\u2019s Test player for India, Saransh has also become the fifth player from Indore to play for the country in the red-ball format after Narendra Hirwani, Rajesh Chauhan, Naman Ojha, and Rajat Patidar. Jain is also the oldest India player to play Tests after turning 33 since Robin Singh did so in 1998.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
